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

Monterey Sirak Date: 7/5/2014 7:06:00 AM Amazing poem! We return to our roots and rely on lessons learned so often when we are stumped by life. Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 7/6/2014 9:09:00 AM So true!

Sarai Virden Date: 6/27/2014 5:11:00 PM I don't get the roots either, but I really want to know.... Explain? Hugs always Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 6/27/2014 7:01:00 PM Hi Sarai, see explanation below.

Eileen Manassian Date: 6/27/2014 2:15:00 PM Richard....Hi. This leaves me stumped. ;) I guess humor is not my thing. Rely on your roots..... Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 6/27/2014 7:00:00 PM 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.

Toquyen Harrell Date: 6/27/2014 11:42:00 AM 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! Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 6/27/2014 9:42:00 PM *lol*
