Ancestral

Ancestral blood always flows
with a strong mind of its own
It crawls all over the brain
telling every descendant
to fall in line on the tracks
laid down by that old founder
and family gandy dancer

~~~~~~~~~~~


Ancestral fire always burns
in a hearth within the soul

Good added 2 lines. Is the first line yours too, Alan? ~ Jim

Yes. I'm glad you like them, I was afraid they could appear a little "overdone."
Alan.
