Elegant

Our bilingual forbears are respectable...

Elegant

Elegance sounds so grandly  respectable 

Yet the above can sound quite egotistical

Also/agus, my old-man was truly ineffable

Bilingual forbears were, most respectable #

Dignified grace, appearance and movement 

Behaviour is always elegant in refinement;

Progressively, we and they reflectingly do

Mirror each other, as if time's stopped too 

You are "just like your Dad", Roma informs

They came from different times and customs

However, if there is a hereafter dimension

Our relatives may agree on the implication

This poem flows very beautifully! I love including dialogue in my poetry, and I really like the way you’ve inserted “just like your Dad.” The first stanza is especially addicting to read, it all just clicks very well together.
