The Family Tree

Our family is like the branches

Of an old but sturdy tree

The leaves resemble people

That make up our ancestry

The past has not been easy

And it could have made it fall

But the roots are cemented firmly

For this tree to stand so tall

As time goes by it is certain

That the leaves will wither and wilt

But new branches of the tree will thrive

On foundations they have built

Together we are stronger

It isn’t hard to see

That every leaf is needed

To make this family tree
