Roots

The Earth starts life out small

A seed can grow to be a tree

That tree takes years to grow

And in the end, it will stand tall

Such a miracle is a seed

It starts so small

But when it is founded

In good, healthy surroundings

There is a chance for so much more

Roots on trees grow so large

They are the size of giant legs

Healthy roots are the survival

Of the tree

People are like trees in their needs

They start out small

But in order to grow

They must have roots

Family is one root

Another is a friend

Consistency, familiarity

These keep us safe

Once we leave the nest

We must uproot ourselves

And still find our happiness

So we must create new roots

Time and care are necessary

A sense of security

To keep us thriving

And standing upright

There is pain in life

And growing new roots

Taking the time for ourselves

Letting mistakes happen

And learning all the way
