Family Tree

The family tree's beginning
Is unfathomable to me.
But right here in all the branches
Is where our family came to be.

A dashing young geologist
Lamp shade resting on his head
Found true love in his bride-to-be
Beautiful brown eyes and lips of red.

Without the two of you, you see,
There wouldn't be the three
Toe headed precious babies
Known as Michael, Marg and me.

Oh, we know it wasn't easy
To raise us on this earth.
Please know we are so thankful.
You built our character & gave us worth.

Time passed and we were blessed
With unions that have grown
And from these new beginnings
Sprouted children of our own.

The love you showered on us
We see you passing on to them
Words can't describe our gratefulness
Or impact on our precious children.

The family tree's beginning
Is unfathomable to me.
And right here in all the branches
Is where our family came to be.
