The Family Tree
The family tree
On this day we will plant a tree
To symbolize the growth of our family
For long ago seeds were planted
After time you had roots of your own
Root by root you nurtured each one
With a mixture Of support and a sprinkle of love
After countless hours of understanding
Our family tree was quickly expanding
Like the seasons come and go
The tree branches continue to grow
For life is ever changing nothing stays the same
So on this day, we plant new memories
In a whole new domain
Beneath the tree, we plant life's precious moments
Like all my children so far away
When the wind blows they all find their way
Soon I know they will be on their way
Back to the tree
Where dreams of today
And memories of tomorrow
Live on day after day
