A Family Tree

A poem of acceptance.

What does it mean, to have a large family tree?

It means you will never be alone, unless you are choosing to be.

Sometimes, in life, the choses we make,

may shake up your tree. Make no mistake.

But it is my experience, at least in my family.

Our love for one another, is as strong,

as the trunk of a very old tree.

Everyone, at some point in life, makes mistakes.

It is how you plan to make up for them,

that will determine how hard your tree will shake.

There will always be, those in your family tree,

that can't see past your mistakes, it is too hard for them to see.

But that is okay, that is up to them.

As long as you mend your ways,

you will always have family friends.

For the relationship, among family, is most healthy when,

there is heartache, love and most of all forgiveness of sins.

For if you believe in God, as I do,

if he can forgive our sins, then why can't you?
