Where everything sprang from.
That which gave in us a new life.
We didn't matter to this world and
it made us count as one among all.
It is our roots; validating our existence on earth.
So reflect upon your journey this far.
See for yourself where have you come from.
Your origin makes so much of who you are today.
So don't forget your roots but carry it along...
Never paint yourself with pride,
instead immerse yourself in
humility and gratefulness.
Your achievements should
make you humble, not arrogant.
Watch your steps as you walk ahead.
Everytime you achieve in life,
remember the seed in you.
For what is a tree without its roots?
