We’re here, you see
Not just to be
A plant not rooted,
A rootless tree.

Engrave the present,
Relate to the past,
Tomorrow, though fog bound,
Will arrive at last.

Firm the footing
Inlaced with steel
For those tomorrow
Its wisdom feel.

So past and present
Have gone at best
Forever tomorrow
Will be laid to rest.
