Roots to grow
Wings to soar
Roots of stability
Wings to explore

Roots of love
Wings to experience pain
Roots of shelter
Wings to sail through the rain

Roots of justice
Wings to experience injustice
Roots of tolerance without compromise
Wings to overcome bias

Roots to teach
Wings to learn
Roots to invest
Wings to earn

Roots to forgive
Wings to make mistakes
Roots to heal
Wings to feel heartaches

Roots to encourage
Wings to experience failure
Roots to remain strong
Wings to endure

Roots of humility
Wings to achieve and succeed
Roots of kindness
Wings to do a good deed

Roots of integrity
Wings to earn that name
Roots of sportsmanship
Wings to play the game

Roots of Honesty
Wings to seek truth
Roots of wisdom
Wings to enjoy youth

Roots of courage
Wings to overcome apprehension
Roots of peace and calm
Wings to conquer tension
