I believe that all roots run deep,
Though they may not be visible to the human eye,
They build a strong foundation,
By reaching out and intertwining.

They become a secure anchor,
As a life begins to grow.

I believe that every day has potential,
And that the layers of your life,
Are expanded by experiences,
That connect the rings of your life’s journey.

I believe in branching out,
In meeting new people,
In reading everything you can get your hands on,
And that along the way kindness can change the world.

I believe in appreciating the beautiful simplicities of life,
In picking berries in the woods,
In savoring cotton candy as it melts like magic on my tongue,
And in noticing the beauty in a Queen Anne’s Lace.

I believe that memories are absorbed,
Into the roots of a person’s soul.

And that by creating new beginnings and strong connections,
You are able to link the past, the present, and the future together,
To plant a new seed for future generations.
