DEEP ROOTS

Lazy as a leaf whose adventure is not his own

            Ambitious as a vine whose sight soar always up

Simple as a yes whose answer does condone

            Optimistic as a kid who’s as full as his cup

Today marks the start of it all

            Time passes yet moments linger with hope

Hearts gather to honor their call

            Dreams flirt, dance, cuddle and elope

You and me and her and him

            A group unruly related only in time

Without the other the world fashions grim

            Fight back and love claims a witty rhyme

One,  two…three four seven

            Gaggles, herds, schools, flocks

Artistically adding to get eleven

            The movement of the grandfather as it tocks

Green enough to grow with ease

            The wind carries feelings of home

Dirt covered blue jeans from working bent knees

            Explorers unite to where their roots will sew.
