My family is a bush,
Growing and growing
Throughout life getting
Better and better.

The trunk is there
To grow the flowers
And provide nurturance.
The leaves are my mom
Helping me and my dad
Up and binding us
All together.

The thorns are there
For protection,
Fighting off enemies to the Bush. 
My dad fights off
Things that try
To hurt me and 
My mom, 
in doing so, he makes us stronger.

The flowers are
There to shine, 
Shrivel, 
And Fall, 
just to grow
Back. 
I am the Flowers, 
not great by 
Myself but
With all the parts, 
I Am amazing!

My family is a
Fantastic, Blooming Bush.
