My family is like a tree
My dad is the rings around the tree, acting as a time line
My mom is the roots, keeping us grounded
Jennifer is the leaves, fragile at times, but beautiful when healthy
Ryan is the bark, protecting those in need
Tim is the trunk because he stands firm through adversity
Holly is the flowers, delicate and beautiful
Phil is the sap, he stuck at home the longest
Dwayne, Kathleen, Clare, Cory and Lexi are the branches, joining our family and adding to it
Jonathan, Caleb, Nicky and Shanna are the seeds of a new generation
And I am the fruit, nurtured by my family until it’s time to be picked.
