Integrity


Roots grow and grow and grow.

Plunging deep beneath the soil

Despite the above toil

Of birds and bees and human needs

Roots grow and grow and grow.

 

I grow and grow and grow.

Standing tall and professing proud

To overcome the evils of the world so loud

And despite sticks and stones and breaking bones

I grow and grow and grow.
