_Perhe_

(On roots and branches)

By Laura RodbenPublished 9 months ago β€’ 1 min read

Is it my being who weighs the most?

Is it my wandering, my wondering or both?

Is it my search, my constant, restless stand?

Or is it their smile, their way, their gentle hand?

.

(It must be all.)

.

For what awaits in future times?

To save for good, for food, for health?

To leave a legacy, a book, a name?

.

For in my dreams I see it’s true

The best to come will be with you.
