Growing Pains

Folder: 
Love Blossoms

I felt so stunted-

I didn't see development here.

 

But I was the one

that had stopped growing.

 

We had the elements needed:

the sun shining on us,

a sturdy foundation.

 

But one thing was missing:

fertilization.

 

I wasn't nuturing 

our relationship; 

I was watching it wither.

 

So I changed my technique

and began to water it

and take better care of it. 

 

I started allowing 

hope to take root.

 

Now I see us blossoming

into something extraordinary.
