Roots and Branches 

Updated: May 28

Look over there, boy  

Do you see them trees  

Way up there is our future 

But way down is our history 

 

Look over there girl 

You see them seeds  

Those are the seeds of wisdom 

Plant them and nurture them right 

And well of knowledge will unfold to you 

 

Look over there, children of the future 

We may not look the same 

Sound the same 

We may come from an unfortunate past 

 

But children of the future  

Grow with the trees and look upward 

For our future is bright  

Nurture your seeds and keep growing upwards 

Never grow downwards  

 

Let history be your roots 

Cling to those branches  

And bask in the view from above 

 

Look over there 

Do you see what I see? 

Children way up in those branches
