The Family Tree

In pain, I fought to give you life

Hours of labor through the night

Little did I know my work had just begun

With tears ahead and a lullaby sung

A toddler, a child, a teen was made

Soon a young man to make your own way

First there was a bride who was fit you see

The perfect choice for a Mother To Be

Full circle it goes this chain of life

From Mother to Son when he takes a wife

She too will one day soon conceive

A new life branch to begin a new tree

Life is one of the few circular things many forget about - our children our a mirror of our best and worst and more likely to be much more like us than we want to admit. You show care, compassion and love in this piece so kudos and keep it up please.
