 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

OCEANS OF EMOTIONS


Father's day came a few weeks early
Kids said the day to go to see graves
A great day to go to the cemetery
Memorial weekend Dad bring some flowers!
The kids had a surprise for dad
They found my Great Grandpa's Tomestone
Then came the shock of more surprises
Months my son spent finding the family trees
A proud Irishman this man be of his name
But unknown a tree that lead to Roman Kings
This proud Irish boy finds he is a decedent
In line of kings to the Roman Empire
All the years I knew nothing of Mom's past
Her linage from the second son of Constantine the Great
Mom's tree a descendant of Kings and Queens
Nobility, "Yes dear, I am doing the dishes!"
The bold the proud the fallen in grace
Oh how manlyhood the years have faded Nobility
How do I tell her I am the King in my domain?
When she is the one holding the bow and arrows
Once we ruled the world how quickly the peons forget
