Growing
September 20, 2019
Vulnerable, lost, hopeless;
I didn’t know how to grow.
Like a dying weed,
shriveled and desperate.
I felt forgotten,
as I tried to feed off of others.
The weed wouldn’t grow.
Rebuilding, searching, praying;
I’m now learning to grow.
Like a cheery sunflower,
delicate and dainty,
but taller and prouder,
ready to face the sunny day.
The flower grows.
Strong, found, hopeful;
I have a future of growth.
Like an Elm tree,
the flower stands tall.
Watching over others to guide them,
as I was once in need too.
The tree will grow.
