Unexpected Shields

Times when u were young ,
A thought strikes me
Trees shade in scorching sun
Mid aged acceptance 

Strong roots for little grass
Heads first prior 
Maker's unconditional affection 
Follow the steps

Untroubled upturn for keeping 
Untroubled upturn for nourishing 
Wasn't a function for prospect,
But desire for bliss

We dont long for inconsistent affection 
Nor tenderness of our veins 
But unexpected shields of planted trees
