"You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them."
--Desmond Tutu
It all began when the Creator from up above decided to plant a life, he shared his blessing and his love.
He planted these seeds several years ago and tree after tree then started to grow Your tree took form after Jim and Alberta
And since that day your tree took root, and with you Georganne, life as we know it just begun
Your roots have now grown down deep in the earth's very soil And the Master's plan for you has really begun to unfoil
What once was a simple seed has turned into something much greater indeed
With each year that passes the roots of the tree grow stronger than they were before
And like the tree, with age, our love and appreciation for you grow more and more
The trunk of the tree is what holds it in place and the same holds true for our family forest;
Your our trunk, our foundation, our saving grace
Your limbs have stretched out far over the years And you have joined in on our happiness and calmed us through our fears
Like the leaves of a tree, we're all different shapes and a different size
But yet you love each and everyone of us, you see the best in us, as if through God's own eyes
Even when our leaves fall off our branch and out of place
You always welcome us back to your loving embrace
And with each changing season, you've continuously loved us for no reason...
Other than you're the most generous and giving tree in all of the forest And we're so lucky and grateful that you came into this world before us
For without you, our solid beautiful tree, Our lives would not be the same and we wouldn't be
Thank you for providing for our each and every need Here's to you, the beautifully grown tree, that began as just a single seed.

"One of the blessings of family comes from our joy in discovering God's grace and purpose for bringing us into each other's lives." -- Unknown
