What a joy it is to travel <br />And find the roots of your family <br />You meet such wonderful people <br />Beautiful places you’ll get to see <br /> <br />Scotland is truly charming <br />And a magical place to be <br />As I hunted for ancestors <br />It was a thrilling place for me <br /> <br />Cemeteries with family names <br />Beautiful and ancient they are <br />I took photos of their beauty <br />After traveling so very far <br /> <br />The landscapes are different <br />Than anywhere else I’ve seen <br />Looking across the land <br />At the beauty is like a dream <br /> <br />Scouting out many places <br />Ruins from all around <br />Sadness follows me <br />As I discover a broken town <br /> <br />If you have never traveled <br />And found the roots of your family <br />Plan to take a trip soon <br />It’s everything you dream it will be!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/family-roots/
