The Family tree 

Our family is like the branches
On 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's certain
That the leaves will wither and wilt
but the 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
