Stumped

Should my feet fall I would not be able to walk that possibility would leave me stumped If I were stumped I would surely fall unless I relied on my roots

Amazing poem! We return to our roots and rely on lessons learned so often when we are stumped by life.

Back to your roots young man! They hold you firm when the wicked wind blows... As can be seen far more to that write than first meets the eye. BBravooo!!!!

Richard....Hi. This leaves me stumped. ;) I guess humor is not my thing. Rely on your roots.....

If I lost my feet only two stumps would remain, as a result it would be hard to maintain balance. A tree stump has roots which keep it solid. My roots are family and they would prevent me falling.

Then you would be at a standstill, Richard :) You should be able to walk as you have places to go, people to see. Hate to see you all stumped up like a tree stump - knobbed and stuck, haha. Not a pretty sight!
