The Family Tree

A tiny seed is sown with care into the fertile ground Then a small tree pops out slowly from its earthly mound With care it is nurtured by the life giving soil and air The branches then began to reach as if to someone near Its roots can grow and flourish as far as the eyes can see Just like the many members that makes up the family tree The leaves are like the children that's born of mothers and fathers The tree may be hewed down but root remains in sons and daughters The mighty trunk of the tree is what keeps its limbs together A family should remain steadfast in any kind of weather Is your family like the one that can't withstand the storm? Or is it one that doesn't care to be within the norm? Everyone who lives on earth is born with a family tree We have no choice in the matter it's part of our history A tree can grow to unknown heights as if to touch the sky The family tree will always flourish whether we live or die Copyright 2013
