Friends

Many leaves have passed my paths during the wind of seasons, but then one day, one Wednesday afternoon I was wondering about in my field and I slipped over two roots and they wrapped their arms around my feet with no intent to let me go. Who Would have thought that on that Weds. would become the best day of my life.
I didn't like the roots at first because I was STUPID. I was so used to seeing the leaves that came and went and the branches that snapped and broke in my life, the roots that were in my field didn't do that and it scared me. They were different, I didn't like different. I liked what I was used to, and I was used to seasonal, and not lifetime. I Tell you I didn't like the roots at first and I tried everything to make them let go of my feet!!...I sprayed RoundUp and WeedBeGone countelssly, but through it all they never died off, they began to tighten around my feet and legs tirelessly and guess what? They began to grow on me and when that happened, the gloves were off, I put my RoundUp and my WeedBeGone down. Who would have thought my life would be forever changed.
I soon realized that these roots were a different kind of breed! They began to grow right in front of me something I never seen before in my life! They bared more than one type of fruit at once! They grew up and out into a various garden that my eyes have never experienced in life. The presence of the vivid, lively, warming colors that turned my broken heart wrapped in a frown into a never ending smile. Something so different so refreshing as a glanced across my once lifeless flat-lining field was know pumped with new life of a refreshing carpet of mixed fruit. So, I went and picked to make a fruit salad with the refreshing fruit of slices melons, berries, apples,oranges, mango, grapes, peaches, and lemons, nothing have I ever tasted before So Sweet, So Sour, the taste so pure and it was good for me. The food for my soul. Just what i needed. Who would have thought these stubborn roots beat life back into my heart, even though, I was so stupid to not at first value theirs?
Three years later, my field still flourishes with this blanket of this mixed fruit endlessly growing with an intense aroma of life, love, and happiness. I go lay in my field daily where I have began to grow into the two roots and they continue to grow into me. Who would have thought that those three years would feel like a lifetime? They went by so fast and so much has happened, but my roots was there and still is there for me, my roots, my brothers, my friends, my forevers, my lifetime. My first thoughts in the sunrise and the last in the sunset. I can never forget them either, why? Three years later they are stilled wrapped around my feet, but only know, they are wrapped around my heart and I am wrapped around theirs. I LOVE MY ROOTS and THEY LOVE ME. Who Would Have Thought?

Next time you go wondering in the field and a root or two wraps around your feet, don't freak out, fight, or try to run like I did, save the time and the trouble, just put down the RoundUp and the WeedBeGone, sit back and let them grow into your life and you will be amazed how and what fruit will grow in your field.
