Supposed Roots

Surrounded and supported by ones we hold dear

Like the branches and roots of a tree

Pushing and pulling, changing every year

Improving the best parts of me

Standing together, withstanding the storm

Learning to bend in the wind

Burrowing deeply, perfecting our form

Since the beginning, returning again

Becoming everything we are meant to be

Displaying the beauty within

Through every cycle, changing like the leaves

Growing more comfortable in our skin

Stretching and reaching our arms to the sky

Producing fruits that fall, still planting the seeds

Playing our part in this beautiful life

Developing the soil to be all we can be
