The Family Tree Hawaii

Family Tree Poem by Thomas McAfee (1928-1982) English Professor University of Missouri

Tom wrote this  poem on a napkin while watching the Family Tree perform in Jack’s Coronado (1970), Columbia Missouri

 

                                                                                                     

Life is a family tree

Each branch says

What we ought to be

To each other

Each leaf is radiant

In rain or snow or sun

And says you love

Your sister and your brother

Life is a family tree

Try to love someone
