Family

Like a great big tree means the most to me

                                               Has many branches

                                     Grows knitted together gets stronger

                               Thrieves and lives long through any kind of weather

                                   Love and appreciation goes hand and hand

                                                No doubt about it

                                          Divided it falls together it stands

                                            Watching out for one an other

                                            Mother father sisters brothers

                                          Not to forget nieces, and nephews

                                             Who are kind and loving too

                                    Grandmothers and grandfathers are like pillars

                                 Hold and lift every one up giving wisdom and direction

                                                To them raise your cup

                                           Aunts and uncles play their own part

                                      Encouraging and teaching you to be smart

                                                    From their heart

                                                A family extension is for ever

                                               Never stops growing and loving
