Once stood a mighty tree, so strong and wide,
With roots that ran deep, and branches stretched high.
Each branch a child, reaching for the sky,
Yet always held firm by the roots’ gentle tie.
You, dear brother, were a flower in bloom,
Bright and bold, bringing color and perfume.
And when the butterfly danced into your space,
She guided you to find your own special place.
Now you stand as a tree, proud and tall,
But don’t forget the roots that nurtured it all.
The strength you hold, the petals you show,
Are born from the soil where our family’s love grows.
The butterfly brought warmth, joy, and light,
But remember the tree that sheltered your fight,
The storms endured, the winds that blew,
The sacrifices made to see you bloom.
So, as you stand in your own steady ground,
Know that the roots still reach all around.
No distance can break what’s always been true,
The tree that once held you still holds you too.

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is for my brother who start to ignore the bloodline family. We have really close relationship before his marriage. I hope he will come to his sense back.

Family is always family, a nice write about being drawn away from the family you came from and supported you, I think a lot of people will relate to this, nicely written
A great metaphor of the strength of family ties and the unseen protection it gives. Most lovely
If you're his sister, I know how you feel. I blame my sister-in-laws. Beautifully rendered with gorgeous imagery and a painfully haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
