ROOTS

Tree and plant roots wouldn’t

win a beauty contest - but without

them we cannot grow. We cannot

have a tomorrow. They crawl and

creep - through deep dark dirt -

out of sight - silent, slow, relentless -

but there we are - here we are -  family -

now  after 100  -  200  years.  We have

made it - knowing we have ancestors, roots,

buried - below ground - in deep dark graves.
