Roots

Each year when one plants seeds or plants with roots
much emphasis
is placed on the condition of its leaves which boosts
photosynthesis
but not much attention is paid to its roots.

Yes, it is a good sign when the plant's roots,
their genesis,
are growing out of the bottom of the pot like boots;
but there's a crisis
if round and round the pot grow the tangled roots.

In this case, these pot-bound roots
cause paralysis
choking the plant from sending shoots
lacking osmosis
and from drinking in needed juice.

After removing the circling roots
from its nemesis
one must de-tangle and/or cut the roots,
a needed prognosis,
so that new growth the plant will boost.

Rather these roots
feed coreopsis
or grow slender cucs,
roots basic catalysis
is to produce fruits.

Flowers and edible fruit
need photosynthesis
to grow new shoots and roots
so the synopsis is:
nurture those roots.

Begin by giving the soil a boost,
a nutritious oasis,
so that the roots will deeply shoot
during hypothesis
growing pretty flowers or fruits.

Soon you'll be enjoying these fruits,
perhaps sharing with brother and sis,
when blossoms mature into fruit
(yes, home-grown is the most delish)
for dinner, dessert, or as juice.

Deeply rooted plant roots
will one day produce
good fruits
just as our spiritual roots
will one day produce
good fruits.

If our spiritual roots
are not nurtured from the root
they will not produce
beneficial fruit.
These forsaken roots
will become useless shoots.

To nurture your spiritual roots
they need to be fed nourishing juice
daily from God's Word to grow deep roots.
Then healthy roots will grow producing fruit
benefiting many as healthy fruit will boost
and encourage yourself and others by your fruits.

I pray that out of his glorious riches
he may strengthen you will power
through his Spirit in your inner being,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
may have power, together with all the saints,
to grasp how wide and long and high and deep
is the love of Christ,
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge -
that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:16-19
