Every seed sends roots first, <br />Finding for soil and ground <br />where it can stand firm and tall, <br />stand firm and tall if roots go <br />deep, <br />Spread wide to find The sap! single cell that carry life, <br />Give life to cells and tissues, <br />Shoot, barks, branches and <br />leaves, <br />feed the leaves exposing leaves <br />to light, Visible tree stands on exposed <br />roots, not roots visible, Man made boundaries, fence and <br />compound, <br />Can't prevent or limit roots or <br />branches, <br />Sometimes absorbing soil here, <br />Branch will extent to neighbouring house, <br />How one can limit the nature, <br />or confine growing tree to <br />narrow circle drawn by man? <br />So is every life on Earth! <br />Mankind is like forest of different trees, <br />Yet all roots of autotrophic trees <br />deep in the soil, <br />Only parasitic have those roots, <br />pierce other tree's heart! Dive deep into yourself, <br />O man! Can you survive without <br />Your roots? <br />know how you are here, <br />Is it the mortal parent brought <br />you here, Or your fate, <br />Only be grateful to their love and <br />care forever!<br /><br />Ramdas Bhandarkar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-tree-can-stand-tall-without-roots-spread/
