Roots And Branches

Grounded by the weight of expectation and illusion

Rooted in the sense that clarity resolves confusion

Branching out beyond my reach of limited understanding

Pruning away the pain and strife when it is too demanding

Developing the best in me, regrowth through propagation

Reaching beyond self to attain a truer celebration

Surrounded by the ones I need to establish a foundation

Partnering with loved ones to overcome frustration

Encouraged to excel and live a life of fascination

Guided by the past to move in a new direction

Becoming all I’m meant to be, living with exclamation

Standing firm because I had the best holding me to a greater expectation
