Family Tree Warning

When searching among the branches of your family tree Be prepared for the scrapes and thorns you'll get along the way Your sure to find some funny stories mixed in with all the nuts But lies and secrets will come seeping up as sap from the roots Don't take everything your told by others at face value They have their own private splinters buried deep in the shadows Delve deep into the inner branches and poke among the leaves For bitter sweet is the fruit of the family tree

Beautiful write, Paula. I have done one for my family's "Pictorial Tree" which I have yet to post here. However, I may enter it into one of the Soup contests later. This has some wonderful images and things brought out which you wouldn't expect in a family tree. Keep the pen flowing. Dan C
