Our Little Tree

 By JC Hoskins

Our little tree has grown so much, getting bigger every year.

Passed down through generations from my ancestors so dear.

Its branches have grown bigger, exceeding even time.

Each generation helped it grow to show our family lines.

A pedigree of life, this is our Family Tree.

What sweet fruit it does bear throughout all of History.

Cousins, Uncles, Fathers Mothers,

Aunts, and Grandmas, Sisters and Brothers.

This mighty tree that branches out, my linage it does hold.

With stories for each life that’s past just waiting to be told.

Soon a Grandson or Granddaughter I will add upon this tree.

As these branches stretch throughout all time into Eternity.

Someday upon this tree someone will look and ponder.

And point to me and proudly say that is my Great, Great, Great Grandfather.
