Connection
I relate this short phrase to text to world, because I see a lot of people judging when they don’t even know what they are
capable of. The true transformation starts from the root not from the branches. In nowadays people are judging each other by
their look their race, and their religion. While they are not looking at what’s at the bottom of the roots and how their seeds are
being planted.

Reflection
As I was reading and researching what the poem is about. I was amazed at how the words are being used and the division of
the two stanzas. The first stanza talks about how the writer describes the scene of the text. At the first and second line it talks about
how everything changes in the blink of an eye, when a baby was being exchange with another baby. Everything changed, A frost came
in the night and stole what’s was precious. The Image of spring talks about how spring Is forming while the season is still winter, I
have read and understand what the poem is about. It talks about how life is ever-changing and how a person is facing its difficulties.
The last line also talks about how you understand something not by what you see on the branches, but with the transformation that is
occurring at the bottom of the plants off how the seeds are growing. On the second line of the second stanza talks about how spring is
mocking winter, because when winter comes everything dies and it brings cold and death at its side. Reading this poetry has made me
realized that life doesn’t bring happiness it also brings sorrow and darkness in a person life. That’s why we accept the consequences
and move on.
