Genealogy Mothers

[I wrote this to "All those at MyFamily.com"]

Genealogy Mothers

searching through shadows
of mothers long dead
earth as a blanket
stone at their head

but alive in the paper
and wild megabytes
books, family trees,
genealogy sites

breathing life into their stories
like glowing embers to flames
elijah's great promise
i'm a keeper of their names.
