We arrived in Ambarsar
The city of my ancestors
Headed for Nakodar
The land of my forefathers
What an adventurous time it's been
Meeting family
Eating to our heart's delight
Discovering family history
Paying our respects to those passed
Asking for forgiveness from our past
I wrote a poem for Amritsar the night we landed
But, like our thoughts, words, and actions, it evaporated in less than a second
If only I could recall
I would; I would undo
But we must regret, we must pray
That is just the way
