A Tapestry

by boxergirl


my family tree
a well-woven tapestry
of chromatic colors
evolving eons ago
spun from strong threads
pieces placed in patterns
of intricate designs
full of flaws
unique yet stylish
in its own way
stitched together
with love and affection
determination

hanging high
on the walls
in the halls
of our hearts
so all can see
and for which
I am proud
to be 

one
single
strand

The older I get the more I am thankful for the ties that bind my colorful family and to see the tapestry extending as our families continually grow. 8-)
