Foundations

When building a house

Or planting a tree

You start with little things

One corner stone

One little seed

There is a magic

Of the Earth

That allows a seed

The size of a speck of dust

To become a tree

With roots

As large as

Giant’s legs

They are dug into the ground

A corner stone

A very large piece

Is merely one step

To a marvelous work

And a wonder

Roots and stones

Do not often mix

But they each are

Foundations

In order to live

And to be happy

One must live upright

Not crumpled in

Or falling over

The start of growth

Is a seed of small size

But this seed becomes

As we become

Something greater

A marvel,

And a wonder

We must be founded

In good earth

In level places

Where we can stand

And never fall
