Beyond expectation

Luke 6:43  “For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, 

nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

 

A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit

 

Sad

 

Why does reality disappoint? Why does reflection hurt?

To observe past mistakes resurfacing in our children

Why are our grandchildren made out of similar dirt?

And have the same disposition as my mother’s children

 

An apple does not fall too far from the tree that bore it

It is so with babies as they make their first yelling sound

Their parents living about at par and learn to adore this

Thinking that the next generation will bring a better round
