Colmar



Napoleonic officer
Whichever one you were
You might not know this but you are
My quite great grandfather
From that time you were in Colmar

You lost but won the heart
Of my ancestor in Alsace
They say you were a star
Propinquity to Bonaparte
You could have been a count

Whatever your name or your fame
Or how large the amount
Of credit or blame there may be
For things like Waterloo
We are family me and you

And it was no disgrace
If a count then it counts with me
My grandfather Your Grace
I understand you from afar
And see you in my face

Your words paint a remarkable portrait of your great grandfather! Quite a distinguished gentleman, I'm sure, (as you are yourself), my dear Steven. I enjoyed this poem a lot! Write on!!

Love ya!

Jane
