THE FAMILY TREE Poem Contributed by Edna Kasper I think that I shall never see The finish of a Family Tree As it forever seems to grow From roots that started very low Way back in Ancient History times In Foreign lands and distant climes From them grew trunk and branching limb That dated back to time so dim One seldom knows exactly when The parents met and married then Nor when the twigs began to grow With odd named children, row on row Though a verse like this is made by me And the end is in sight as you can see 'Tis not the same with Family Trees That grow and grow through centuries.
