One day I turned around I looked away For a second To reach for Mother’s hand I heard a sound And turned back ‘round In a flash Life; transformed There I saw Where stood before Our family tree Mother as roots; I as the stem And now; fruits In a second My youth forgotten And maternal thoughts My mind did fill How so fast Did this day come? Once the stem Now the roots So quickly Life transformed.

Family tree
One day I turned around I looked away For a second To reach for Mother’s hand I heard a sound And turned back ‘round In a flash Life; transformed There I saw Where stood before Our family tree Mother as roots; I as the stem And now; fruits In a second My youth forgotten And maternal thoughts My mind did fill How so fast Did this day come? Once the stem Now the roots So quickly Life transformed.
A simple poem describing how quickly life changes and our roles can go from that of a child (the fruit) to that of a parent (the roots).
