IF by Mable Baker

 

If you could see your ancestors 
All standing in a row, 
Would you be proud of them?
Or don't you really know?
Some mighty strange discoveries are made 
In climbing family trees, 
And some of them you know
Might not particularly please

If you could see your ancestors
All standing in a row
There might be some of them
You wouldn't care to know
But here is another question
That requires a different view.
If you could meet your ancestors
What would they think of you?
