Family Tree Poem by Kassem Oude

A tree is grown in fair land
Nurtured drops of love source
Drenched dew by tender hand
Wrapped by eyelids it's worth

It sends far deep steady roots
Shoots skyward strong big boughs
Leafy sprigs full of fresh fruits
Entices seer to have he vows

In warm lap kinds of birds dwell
Neighbors get cool in her shade
Of her fragrance gush do smell
Taste in winter its compote laid

It receives summer sun rays
Amuses moon at moonlit nights
Clears air keeps ambiance of Mays
Upright in soil as a brave knight

I put in bulbs to spread light
Defies storms stern it withstands
It won't leave withholds earth tight
Here we live and here will extend.
