As strong winds blow

The strong trees grow

Instead of being ripped from the ground

It's roots hold it, safe and sound

Roots are what grounds trees

Just as our roots ground us

Our experiences and reactions grow roots

Our passions and satisfactions grow roots

Your personality is your story

But so are your scars

Fight or flight reaction

It is all adaptation

Our roots are who we are

Just as the night has stars

Just as gardens have weeds

Just as our hearts have beats

Learn your roots

Your history, Your bloodline

It all comes into play

Molding your life like clay

Every mark we earn

Every lesson we learn

Shape our roots into their own unique form

The roots that stay strong, even during a storm

Your roots hold you up

They're the strongest parts of you

Don't ever feel like you can't let them show

You have to keep allowing them to grow

Branches might break

Leaves may fall

At some point your tree will die

_But your roots will always stay right where they are_
