Roots

A tree stands tall, reaching for the sky

Thick leaves, branches strong

Up and down, side by side

Many trails it leaves behind.

This tree is full of unique patterns

All kinds of shades fill this tree

Making it beautiful for the eye to see.

Beneath the earth, the roots roam

Forming a pattern in the unknown

Always onward, direction changing,

Moving, spreading keeping the flow.

This tree planted firm, never to be removed.

May it help to remind you that your heritage

Your culture is fashioned by you too.
