Stephen Tefft Poet Rhyme

Roots To Fruits

A little sunlight, a little rain
A bit of hope cuts through the pain
     and
Though the seasons swiftly pass
Deep down we know they will not last
     So we bend with the wind
     And we pray we don't break.
     We don't know how we grow
     So we give just as we take...

So, once we were just a tiny seed
Unrecognizable indeed
     and
Though our growth is unobserved
We know our lives must be preserved
     So we bend with the wind
     And we pray we don't break
     We don't know how we grow
     So we give just as we take

Another year means another ring
Survive the Winter, enjoy the Spring
     and
Through the Summer and Autumn's call
When, once again our lives will stall
     So we bend with the wind
     And we pray we don't break
     We don't know how we grow
     So we give just as we take

We dig deep
We stretch high
From Earth to the stars
From our roots
To our fruits
This is who we are
