Sandra Haight Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Rooting For 8 To 5

Roots


Buried deep and dark, roots promise worthy fruits

that feed and blossom from one common seed.

With solid branches multiplying thru so many years,

growing up and out from sound, established roots, 

our ancestral tree of generations makes its stand.


Sandra M. Haight
