The Earth smiles in flowers.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson*
A year ago
I ceased to grow
Because I was stuck in your shade
And now I have roots,
And the length of me shoots
Deep into the soil.
I found stability in me
And strived to be
More than a girl someone could love.
The Earth smiles
In flowers for miles,
And my love grew a field.
I grew far and wide,
For I have nothing to hide-
I bloomed with patience and time.
A year ago,
I ceased to grow,
And now I'm here to state
That growing is slow,
But so long you know
That for good things to cultivate
You have to take an age-old
Tired and true approach,
And simply let the time pass.
Dear, you just have to *wait.

I had dinner with my small group last night and we told each person why we like them. The group told me that I was joyful and lit up a room and full of self love and it was not always so. I was not always so loving and kind. A year later I am though, and it was my year I spent alone trying to figure out why being alone made me so sad. I didn't like me. So I grew from it and became a person that I love, and it shows. A year later I light up a room because I love me, and that lets me love others too. Time is so fickle but so telling too, and a year later all that time spent figuring this all out was not a waste but a blessing
