Friends Are Like Trees

Some are like leaves They support you for a short while They change with the seasons Then with the slightest bit of wind They are carried away Some are like twigs They are an essential part of the tree But they can be broken off with little effort And usually becomes birds’ nests Or children’s play things Some are like branches/limbs They are necessary to maintain your balance Occasionally you can go out on them And at other times they way you down But with strong winds, they are easily moved Then there are those who are like roots They keep you firm and grounded In whatever soil you are planted They are your life’s source They rejuvenate and refresh you Aspire to find and keep your root friends Your life will be so much more fulfilling with them in it.
