Family Tree

You come to me in my dreams
A foggy night a distant memory 

I will never see you in life
But I’ll share your face in time

Family roots tender torn apart
Broken due to slavers cold heart

What was meant for evil we pray
Leads to blessings victory days

First black president of USA
And black First Lady descendant of slaves

Family history tree with roots so old
Despite being beaten separated sold

Victory is your blessed rainbow 
First female president make it so

I hope she does make it Karen, Love your historical couplets, though hate what happened to your family many many years back, beaten, separated or sold, how could one have a heart so cold, Kamala, I am rooting for you. Blessings my friend, Jennifer.
