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).
