Family Tree
My family has accepted me for who I am since I was born
They nurtured my growth faithfully since the acorn
With their knowledge like water and love like the breeze
Which gave me strong roots and let me breathe life through my leaves
They taught me to reach for sun of my dreams from out of the dark
To overcome this harsh natural world with a strong bark
They open their heart and listen from their best stance
They don’t judge me or hang me from the branch
There’s no other place I’d rather be
Than spending time underneath my own family tree
