Forget not thy root

Forget not thy root

Who said these words?

I did.

However far above you get or ahead you trudge,

Forget not what you were and who pushed you along this path.

Forget not what you were back then, when you see men in trouble.

Forget not the lessons learnt along the way, the path stretches on much longer.

Forget not the roots that feed you, when tough questions ask themselves.

Learn what others did not.

Think how others did not.

Act as the people dared not.

Feel each one's heart.

Play with the youngest of them all.

Talk with the mightiest.

Enjoy the silliest.

Read the serious.

Throw away prejudices.

They are somebody else's mistakes.

Make up thy mind.

Forget not thy root.
