Our family is like the branches

On an old but sturdy tree,

The leaves resemble people

That makes 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 tall.

As time goes by, it's certain

That the leaves will wither and wilt,

But new branches of this 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.
