Three Types of People

Three types of people, let me break it down,

Some are like leaves, drifting all around,

They come and go, never staying long,

Blowing in the wind, like a lost song.

 

Branches stand tall, but they might break,

They bend, they sway, but they can’t always stay.

They help you grow, but when it's time to leave,

You gotta let go, or they'll make you grieve.

 

Roots run deep, they hold you tight,

Through every storm, through the darkest night.

They never leave, they never stray,

True ones stay, come what may.

 

Leaves, branches, roots, each has its role,

People change, but roots hold the soul.

Leaves may fall, and branches may snap,

But roots stay strong, they keep you on track.

 

So keep your roots close, let the leaves fly,

Hold onto the branches, but be ready to say goodbye.

In this world, it’s plain to see,

True roots are the ones that set you free.

 

Branches stand tall, but they might break,

They bend, they sway, but they can’t always stay.

They help you grow, but when it's time to leave,

You gotta let go, or they'll make you grieve.

 

Roots run deep, they hold you tight,

Through every storm, through the darkest night.

They never leave, they never stray,

True ones stay, come what may.

 

Roots run deep, they hold you tight,

Through every storm, through the darkest night.

They never leave, they never stray,

True ones stay, come what may.

 

Leaves, branches, roots, each has its role,

People change, but roots hold the soul.

Leaves may fall, and branches may snap,

But roots stay strong, they keep you on track.

The botanical metaphors in this one point to significant truths. We all have roots, trees and branches in our lives, but it is up to us to correctly identify them and attach our values appropriately. Otherwise we are in for pain.
