Your poem brought forward thoughts of my father who made it his business to let us know everything about our ancestors and all the extraordinary people of his state...he was known as the North Dakota historian for the schools...textbooks...sometimes he had me illustrate them. Now my brother and sister, who have similar desires for history, keep us up to snuff on all the rellies here and in the world at large. I'm lucky :)rjerdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453912819445395042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8269120272474965191.post-34308387064529970432013-07-01T10:33:37.566-07:002013-07-01T10:33:37.566-07:00You are always so generous!

What a beauty and yet it's got such a sense of otherworldliness. I loved this poem.
