We grew up
listening to the story
of its' origin.
With a heavy heart,
I asked that part of
the old building
that stood on the other side,
demolished.
spreading its’ branches,
and deep roots that
grew and created
it’s world within.
“Everything changes,
with changing times.
I was just a structure
of bricks and cement
that came to life
with love and care.
I’ll tell you a secret,
The beauty lies in the
deep rooted relationships.
Take care, and nurture them.
for the roots are embedded
deep in DNA.
as long as hearts are connected
the heritage of memories
and stories of origin,
shall forever stay with you.”
