Nothing Lasts Forever

A family tree together forever bonds we would never sever seeds sprouted the tree grew seasons changed, came and flew forthcoming years had no clue, Cancer came making us shiver older branches died and withered death brought us much sorrow leaving hearts numb and hollow we're here today, gone tomorrow. 1-16-18
