Poetic Verses
Roots
I finally came to realize
That my roots I can't outrun
Yes, I'm still here where I was born
And raised ever since day one.
Even so, I offer no complaint
Being where I want to be
For the simple life I choose to live
Is good enough for me.
My roots run deep and very strong
Here in this podunk town
But to have it any other way
Would be quickly turned thumbs-down.
For I've seen those sprawling cities
With their glamour and appeal
And I could never be a part
Of something that surreal.
Therefore, I do not plan to leave
Or try to run away
From who I am and what I love
My roots I'll not betray.
That my roots I can't outrun
Yes, I'm still here where I was born
And raised ever since day one.
Even so, I offer no complaint
Being where I want to be
For the simple life I choose to live
Is good enough for me.
My roots run deep and very strong
Here in this podunk town
But to have it any other way
Would be quickly turned thumbs-down.
For I've seen those sprawling cities
With their glamour and appeal
And I could never be a part
Of something that surreal.
Therefore, I do not plan to leave
Or try to run away
From who I am and what I love
My roots I'll not betray.
