My Tree, Branch and Twigs

My Tree, Branch and Twigs

My tree was the life I was given
The branch was the wife I met
The Twigs are my Kids

My tree was not nurtured
My branch went astray
The Twigs are my Kids

My tree was abandoned
My branch I left to nurture
The Twigs are my Kids

My tree is now whole
My branch has grown
The Twigs are my kids

My tree is now alone
My branch is on her own
My Twigs, my kids, are grown

My tree is old
My branch is?
I’ll always love my Twigs
