Family Tree
Art Poetry Contest.
Sponsor: Silent One
Inside of a 5x10 frame is displayed
The representation of a beautiful
Family. It is their family tree created
By Lila Anderson for a family that was
established on June 17, 1972.
The originals, or the parents, are seen
At THE TRUNK of the tree which consists
Of three main branches which have
Limbs appropriate for their family size.
The LOWEST BRANCH has no limbs. It
Represents the youngest son who
Has neither married nor fathered
Any children. JJ sits alone but has
Proven to be a most wonderful uncle.
On the NEXT BRANCH is seated a father,
CJ and a mother, KJ. CJ is the middle
child, and believing in legacy, he is seen with
3 limbs representing three boys born to them.
There are other beautiful branches
On this tree consisting of only leaves.
But there lies another OLDER BRANCH
With well designed art work representing
The oldest sibling who is divorced with
3 lovely children.
This lovely piece represents the whole
Of a family that began in Chicago, Il.,
And stands out most proudly in the
Johnson family.
