Canopy

Not many can grow a banyan tree
Mine may be a willow
Behind littered with seeds and toll
Ahead lies duties and roll
We brought ourselves here
That we do agree
Sitting under the canopy
Enjoying our little balcony

Comment: I spent the last 20 years building to what I am/have today. It is like planting a tree. While everyone may plant a different tree (equivalent to the different decisions made and paths taken), it is still your tree (the outcome of your collective decisions and choices). Not everyone ends up with a sturdy tree with large canopy like a banyan tree. And mine may be a flimsy weeping willow, it is nevertheless my own tree. So enjoy whatever canopy it provides while completing whatever duties and responsibilities lie ahead.
