found
i will keep calm
and keep researching…
in spite of my assertion of disappointment
that the ready answer
wasn’t waiting
keener minds have
reminded me…
that
we are really just at the beginning
of this science
all of these different studies
focusing…
on that which may be discovered
through diligence
i am mindful of a great gratitude
for the things that I have been able to discover…
and which knowledge
no other generation of us
ever had even the slightest chance
of discovering
it is a wonderful picture we have been given…
a picture which fastidiously
places us personally
upon the tree of life
the reality of our descent
through ancestors
both known and unknown…
is far removed from youthful thoughts of alienation
generations of relations…
moving
inexorably
through history
is a great gift
hopefully
it is a story
i can pass on
to those who have not yet even been born…
how wonderful
and thanks to M-168
M-70
and even pf7443 whoever he was…
and H2a2a2
that very special lady
harry

Great poem; truly enjoyed it. Thanks!
Wonderful! Thanks for that, Roberta. Can you tell us who was the author?
The author just wants to be known as Harry. He is a participant on one of the lists I moderate. He wrote this in a reply and I just reformatted it a bit. I thought it was very elegant and profound.
Oh, YES!!! It’s so great to be a leaf on that big Tree, even if I never know all the branches.
Thank you, Harry. Thank you, Roberta.
