My precious seedling...
Look to me while I reach for you
Arms outstretched like rays of sun
Offering you a warmth you so desperately-Yet so quietly need
Take root where you are
Be still...
Let me cradle you until you're strong enough to stand
And when you cannot see me past the mist
Just know...
Like that solar star, I will make room when things are cloudy and wait my turn
Making sure you are fed well by the rains
So that when you do see me again
You will be even stronger still
So I may continue to nourish you
Shine for you
Burn for you
Until the day you open up for me
Stretching every vibrant petal boldly for the world to behold
My magnificent sunflower 🌻
