The Voices of the Ancestors |
by Memphis Vaughan, Jr. |
Listen to the voices of the ancestors Echoing from the past Remember the ways of the ancestors Their legacy shall always last Cherish the lives of the ancestors Their faith in God paved the way Rejoice in the memories of the ancestors Their past achievements resound even today Fight for justice like the ancestors The battle is still being fought Teach the lessons as did the ancestors There are many young yet to be taught Tell the stories of the ancestors Let them resonate through our lives Show love to all like the ancestors For that’s the only way our family will survive ***************************** This piece was written for the Davis-Vaughn Family Reunion in July 2016. |
