When seeds are planted, they first grow roots.
Once these roots take hold, a small plant begins to emerge
And eventually breaks through the soil;
It grows and matures.
Although it sticks to its roots
Yet gets its own branches,
That grow to give the most leaves the most light.
It gives rise to its own beautiful flowers
And sometimes flowers are cross-pollinated
Which gives birth to a new generation
A generation which is a hybrid — It still carries its roots
yet having a new form
A form different from the parent tree
And it’s totally fine.
It changes and evolves
Takes on some other characteristics
It can retain or recreate the old
That is never quite the same thing,
but it becomes a part of the new.
And it’s totally fine.
It still sprouts the inherited love
This is far more important than carrying characteristics.
Believe me, it’s fine.
