The Family Tree Poem by Sarita Milliner

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 images,
With heredity from Mom and Dad, adding to the percentages!

The trunk supports the body, of the Family Tree,
Its' strong base houses layers, each one with its own beauty,
A pillar of strength on display, a sight for all to see!

There's knowledge, skills and wisdom, deep inside its roots,
Nourished by culture and history, of it ancestral fruits,
Yet at the top, of the Family Tree, sits the Patriarch all astute!
