King James, Reflections in Kilgore Pond

Mr. James Jackson Kilgore is kindred and remembered,
In spirit and in flesh,
An influence melded from iron family figures unseen, yet remembered,
Methuselan brethren like Eugene Sanders.

From the Sanders, to the Kilgores,
From the Breedloves, to the Houstons,
From the John Juniors, to the John Seniors,
And Adam and Eve, yet earlier.
