The Root

Young tender seed.

Water and dirt is what you need.

As the water sprinkle down,

life burst from the inside out.

Your roots begin to sprout.

They spread through the

foundation of the earth.

Every eye could see this is a new birth.

You grew from a weed into a tree.

Farmers came and cut you down.

Life has stopped without a clue.

Awe… they didn’t pull the root.

They only took the body they could see.

Guess what my friend!!..

Your roots can grow a new tree.

Life still exist in thee.
