If you were to trace my roots
What would you see
Would my past be full of kings and queens
Royalty
People who had everything handed to them
Or would my ancestors be
Heroes
Warriors
Villagers
Voyagers
Weavers
Painters
Civilians
If you were to trace my roots
Would they be silver and delicate
Like tree branches in winter
Would they be every color
Mixed into a spider web
Do my roots define me
Am I my ancestors
If you were to trace my roots
Would they be a straight road
With no bumps or hills
An easy path
Or would they be filled
With mistakes and troubles
Wars and fights
But also
Celebration and parties
Accomplishments
Joy
Smiles and Love
If you were to trace my roots
I would like to see

I think it's only human nature to look to our own past to discover who we are at present. I too find myself wondering about my ancestors, often -- where they came from, what they did, what their lives were filled with, and what role they had in shaping me. Maybe a genealogy website would be fun for you to pore over someday, I know my dad has found a new sense of identity in it!
