Roots

I seen a tree in a photo
With it's roots bold and strong
Making the tree limbs standing tall
With the leaves of green, covering so....


Roots, older than the tree
Spreading out into the soil
Digging deep, spreading wide
Making a solid foundation
Supporting the tree above....


Our generations before us
Strengthened our roots
To bare the limbs above
For our future families to come....


Without roots, you have nothing
No stability, the tree just topples over
Laying there, to die....


Stabilize the roots
Make them strong
No rains, snow, winds
Will ever bring that tree down
It will always flourish
Bloom and grow...
