When roots grow firmly, planted into earth,
You need not dread how fierce the winds may blow,
If broken, there will always be rebirth,
New tendrils reaching skyward soon will grow,
From aspirations dashed, revived they spring,
And flourish 'neath a covering celeste,
Protected by a hardy outstretching,
Of taproots seeking nourishment afresh.
The tempest's howl may sweep across the land,
Upturning shallow growth that swiftly fades,
You need not fear, for you will staunchly stand
In whirlwind's tearing forces: you'll pervade.

You must, with some resolve, tenacity,
Have laid the groundwork, growing it deeply.  

Kris

stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." ~
Albert Einstein
