Roots: a poem for an amazing woman


Lost seeds she found then
picked up from the ground 
nurturing nature 
with kindest of grace

Once lay as dud 
blossom the loveliest bud 
here the sadness erased

The common trunk unfurls
happiest girls 
together 
year after year

They grow back in spirits 
to return the same lyrics 
of advice and peace 
she brings still

The beautiful life 
she has given to them 
will forever live 
in these roots
