LYTLE PLANTATION NEWSJanuary, 2006 Volume XX, Number 1Twenty and CountingYes, you are reading the twentieth year of Lytle Plantation News. And we seem to be running out ofmaterial. After this year, expect to receive an annual bulletin around Christmas time each year. Besure to forward your changes of addresses so we know where you are!Dear Ancestor (author unknown)Your tombstone stands among the rest;Neglected and alone.The name and date are chiseled outOn polished, marbled stone.It reaches out to all who careIt is too late to mourn.You did not know that I existYou died and I was born.Yet each of us are cells of youIn flesh, in blood, in bone.Our blood contracts and beats a pulseEntirely not our own.Dear Ancestor, the place you filledOne hundred years agoSpreads out among the ones you leftWho would have loved you so.I wonder if you lived and loved,I wonder if you knewThat someday I would find this spot,And come to visit you.Page 4
