Family Tree Poems - Poems about Family Tree

A tree’s roots are meant to keep it nurtured,? resilient.? But mine only malnourished and betrayed me. They say family is everything:? the blood in your veins,? the roots of your DNA,? the people who make you who you are.? But mine only neglected me? emotionally,? physically,? and mentally.? Some even manipulated me? in ways no child should ever understand. Instead of feeding and caring for me,? my family...

Trees form an alliance…you might say they’re in cahoots… with other trees and organisms that intertwine within their roots. Pine, fir, palm, cherry, maple…it matters not what we call them what differences on their outsides we may see… The thread connecting them means they are all one family… and that family is…tree. It’s amazing how it works…if a tree needs something...

I am a shadow on the branch of the family tree, A lost echo in the memory of a mother who would shudder with shame, A shapeless form trying to survive, to breathe, Yet failing like a withered leaf falling before its time. My father looks at me through mirrors of unforgiveness, Like a piece of furniture silently regretted, I know...

You come to me in my dreams A foggy night a distant memory I will never see you in life But I’ll share your face in time Family roots tender torn apart Broken due to slavers cold heart What was meant for evil we pray Leads to blessings victory days First black president of USA And black First Lady descendant of slaves Family history...

The wedding ceremony is over… to the world we’ve added a new husband and wife. The cabin has returned to normal and everyone’s gone back to their life. As I sit on the porch in the quiet..watching birds at the feeder…I’m enthralled as the trees continue to change color and their leaves continue to fall… I once believed when it...

The function of our family tree is to keep us safe and cool and warm… to offer us a comfortable place to rest and to give us shelter from the storm. But when I gaze out on our world…it’s bittersweet what I see… I see one beautiful planet Earth inhabited by one dysfunctional family. Our dysfunction is how we’ve...

Looking past and long ago trails of names come trickling down down they come through the annals of time their names defined neatly arranged, in staggered lines. Forgotten lists of greats and grands silent, as their memories stand in the past, immortal bands. Family trees are carefully writ down into the logs they go mothers, fathers reap and sow bearing children, they bestow offspring issued in straight rows. Trailing...

This is life after death, after life Death during life Losing time, wasting time, spending time Time after time So Cyndi Lauper says I was in Kindergarten on the school bus staring out the window the first time that song played in my head This was the birth of my introspection I wanted someone to find me I had looked around all the...

I was putting away some Fiesta Ware the other day when, noticing all the colors in front of me I had to stop and smile at how they reminded me of our family tree. I love our family tree…love every leaf…love its branches one and all… love how it is painted all year long…in colors of the Fall. I’m...

Let me catch you in the morning when the sun comes out. Under the dawn of light, you’re a beautiful sight. With your warmth swirls with a dance before me, like butterflies in flight. Taking my soul for a ride, down by the tree we go with the light of day setting down on us. Kickin’ back against the...
