The Sorrow of our Ancestors (FIRST DRAFT)



The sorrow of our ancestors
Through all the
Pain, sorrow, and war


The things they did for us will not be forgotten
If they didn't do what they did we wouldn't be 
Here


We, our generation must help
So that later generations will be free
Like us

We shall do like our ancestors
So there shall be 
Freedom in our world

Jacob,
This is such an important message for us. We've been talking about paying it forward, and we also need to express our appreciation for the past. We're so fortunate to be in the position that we're in and we have a lot of people in our past to thanks.

Thank you for writing and sharing this.

-Mr. G.

This is a topic that needs to be touched on more, and is very relevant to the state our world is in at the moment.

Nice writing!
