Roots

After twenty years,
one's roots tend to be deep.
It is hard to pluck them from the earth.
I've done it before.
I'll do it again.
After 50 years, however, one realizes
how very precious the root system is;
how vital all of that cultivation is;
how supportive that system is;
how integral it is to life.

The tree may be replanted,
but the roots always remain!
