Improbable wishes




                                   
No remembrance of my great grandfather,                                        
Who bequeathed us a mansion.          
No gratitude to my grandfather,          
Who fed us with sweets and coins.     
No goodwill to my grandmother,
Who left us with cash and vessels.     
No gratefulness to my mother,
Whose jewels and things we shared.   
No love and passion for my father
Who lives somewhere.            
I would join their caravan                   
But with memories of                         
Being remembered by
My children and their children            
For what I will have left.
