How Deep Are Your Roots?

How deep are your roots?
(A New Year’s Day poem by Wain)

Dear Beloved,

Before life brings floods
That rise higher than your _ _ _ _ _
Please take time to ask:
“How deep are my roots?”

Before life brings illness
That demands more veggies and _ _ _ _ _ _
Please take time to ask:
“How deep are my roots?”

Before life brings old age
That flattens your chest and _ _ _ _ _ _
Please take time to ask:
“How deep are my roots?”

Before life brings failure
That frustrates your dream _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Please take time to ask:
“How deep are my roots?”

Before life brings cheaters
Disguised as gentlemen in _ _ _ _ _
Please take time to ask:
“How deep are my roots?”

Before life brings beliefs
That science completely _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Please take time to ask:
“How deep are my roots?”

Before life brings obstacles
That deter from straight _ _ _ _ _ _
Please take time to ask:
“How deep are your roots?”

Before life brings sadness
That comes from messy _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Please take time to ask:
“How deep are my roots?”

Whether you have doubt
Or faith in God _ _ _ _ _
The best life you can live
Is one deeply rooted in love.

How deep are your roots?

Happy New Year!

Lots of love,

Wain
