Roots
by Naomi D. Shinaul
I think
We just
Planted a seed in fertile soil
That was blessed by God
And, it my hope
That the seed that was planted will begin to take root
In this soil
and it will grow into a gree
If the tree grows, then I hope
The tree will have a strong trunk that will never waiver
Even if a mighty wind blows, the tree will not topple over
And I hope that the tree has Supple branches
That will be flexible to
Bend and yield before
God
