Our Family Tree

See me swinging in the Family Tree
I'm sure my eyes are filled with glee
Won't you climb up here with me
Just to know, what it is, I see

A Family, whose love is free
And listens, to my every plea
They'll help you out, then drink Iced Tea
But, they are the Breathe of Life in me

Up here, sheltered in its lee
We're protected and loved, to all degree
Sometimes, it just might get windy
But, we'll climb up and just sightsee

So please, my dove, come nest with me
Life without you, cannot be
So, I hope, you will agree
When I say " I'll spend life with thee."

If you will consent, to marry me
I'll go running, for that old church key
Maybe kids, in time, we'll see
Just swaying and loving in Our Family Tree
