Roots
Here I stand
A native be
In this town
Where roots are deep
I giggled down
The path of youth
Grew up fast
And old too soon
Life has surely
Danced for me
Joy and pain
And mystery
Where did all
The prized years go?
Memories
I cherish so
They will ever
Live inside
Beloved halls
Of heart and mind

The poem goes on to talk about how the roots go so deep and how they are constantly growing and reaching for new things. This is a beautiful metaphor for how we should never give up on our dreams and continue to reach for them, no matter what. I have visited http://www.laprogressive.com/essayontime/ site and knew that the poem is a reminder that even though our roots may be strong, we should never stop growing and reaching for new things.
