As I climb my family tree, each distinct leaf touches me with life's beauty.

As each year passes and comes and goes
The family tree grows and grows
The more you nurture, the more care
The less likely you will become rare

Roots are formed and the cycle continues
and gives new life to carry on
Water feed and nurture you tree
All of this love...

They stand in cottonfields of snowy white
The faded, black and white of my grandparents..
Smiling as though everything were alright.
Cotton sacks hung low down to the ground,
As the depression came calling,
Twas the way of life...

Those first thick, blury, color pictures of mom and dad
From those old...

Explorin' the branches of the family tree can be rather dicey.
Some ancestors could be famous, humdrum er downright spicy!
With bated breath I decided to take the risk and check around.
I wasn't all that enthralled about some of the dudes that I found!

Seems that in the...

Our family tree will never stop growing…our faith and comfort will never crumble
Love grows here…so have no fear—God is near
My family, though packed up with pride and low self-esteem, still appears humble
Mirth produces joy and our hope gives birth to cheer

God is our Father; who...

An Egyptian I never could be,
but since reading of their history,
in limerick form
I now write to inform
my friends of the Gods’ family tree.

From “Waters of Chaos” came Nun,
the only God under the sun.
The first piece of ground
rose up as a mound.
Hun stood there and coughed...

The Family Tree

The Family Tree has arm, that stretch out far and wide,
From each arm stems a legacy, which can never be denied,
Also affixed, are veined leaves, with DNA inside!

Tab labels index the status, of ones’ lineage, 
Relationships, births and deaths, all captured in the...

My family tree grew Mount Calvary

As my heavenly Father looked on, they crucified his only son

They pierced his side and his precious blood began to flow

In the shadow of the cross my family tree began to grow

He adopted me as one of his own and...

a thriving ploom in the garden of life
waving in the cool breezes overhanging a cliff
roots embedded in the continent of Africa
branching into Europe, Asia and the Americas

through misguided uncompromising fallacies
some of my branches have lost their leaves in the canopies
my beautiful human fruit have become...

Young and sprouting like a twig,
Branches to come to observe when big.

From roots of parent trees long ago,
The families begin to grow.

Siblings blossom from the branch I'm on,
With cousin branches a-blooming along.

Memorable times with them together
Seem to end as life changes like the weather.

Branches separate...

My family is the world to me. my family is a lovely tree.
--a tree with many branches, a tree that will take many chances.
a tree of hope; that will always be my support. a tree that will disagree, but always remain a 
family. a tree...

"Like branches of a rooted, sturdy tree 
     a family survives, each limb entwined."

The perfect place is full of laughter
hopes and dreams while poeple get happier
At the top of as hill  is an apple tree 
on one of the branches is a wooden swin
From top to bottom
a mudslide you'll see
into a pond with frogs and with geese
It's...

I loved those trees, 
limbs draped in plump wild grapes, 
bursting with flavor on my tongue, 
while juice stained my fingers.
	
Tall cottonwoods shadowed 
the creek where we splashed—Sis,
brother, and I—and a giant sycamore 
shaded Granddad's spring. We slaked
our thirst from the granite dipper 
hung on...
