Family is not a tree
With only names to bear
Family is not people in a home
When there’s a lack of care

Family is people brought together With love in their hearts they share
Giving freely without condition
And not a moment to spare

Family is time together
Company each other enjoys
It is not judging one another
Or an image, a decoy

Family is joined by blood given Strengthened in hard times Supporting one another
Never to decline

Time, love and moments
You cannot repeat
Memories to last forever
Family is not a tree.
