Any farmer will tell you that the crop is only good as its ground...
Digging deep below the surface, looking for the treasures to be found,
Will my ancestors turn out to be princes, patriots, or just everyday hounds?
All of us have wondered, gleaned from family lore; some swab their DNA.
The elders we do know might have been good/bad, a few left, some stayed?
Was it nature or was it nurture or a mix of the two that make us "that" way?
These questions plague all of mankind, but the bottom line is choice.
Do we choose cruel words or is there kindness in our voice?
Do we place the blame on others or do we look above to sing, "rejoice!"
