Roots of Strength

Deep beneath the surface lie

The roots of strength, where wisdom sighs

A network of fibers, strong and wide

Anchoring the tree, side by side

Just as the tree's roots dig and grow

Our own roots shape us, as we know

Family, culture, heritage, and past

Forming our identity, forever to last

Roots of resilience, roots of might

Helping us weather life's plodding night

A sense of belonging, a sense of place

Grounding us firmly, with a steady face

Like the tree's roots, our own roots run deep

Nourishing our souls, in endless sleep

So let us cherish, let us honor our roots

For in them lies strength, and eternal fruits.
