Root

Roots
remain buried 
throughout trees life

Roots
misses rising, setting sun
sees no beauty of dawn, dusk 

Roots
never gets to see 
glory of Nature above

Roots 
miss reverence on festive days
while tree gets worshipped

S T I L L ...

Roots
anchors the big tree
through calm, wind and storm 

Roots
nourishes each stem, leaf
enables tree to bears fruits

Roots 
enables tree to provide shade 
maintain ecological balance

Roots 
performs duties selflessly 
no claim over tree

Let our lives be like Roots
humble in attitude
dedicated, selfless in action
