stark branch on the family tree

I struggled all my life to climb my family tree

Wondering on the way up if it was worth the climb;

When I came across stark branches that broke at my grasp

I then wondered if it was all a waste of my time.

 

As I tried again to climb up another way

I found that some branches were often full of sap and rotten to the core.

So I scaled down knowing that I was the better man for trying to climb

I am not a stark branch on the family tree.. now of that I am completely sure.
