The plant didn't grow.
I stepped back,
Disappointed, stood alone.
I cried, thought,
And stepped away.
Once again
Planted.
Watered.
Three days' time, looked at it.
Nothing happened.
At evening time,
I saw a microscopic plant.
Too small to touch.
Hope that it isn't dry.
Five days hence,
A small plant,
Big enough to see with our eyes,
Small enough to break in a touch.
I stepped back,
Created a boundary around it.
But the weather has been merciless.
Hopes stable,
Confidence dropping.
Will the risk I take be worth it?
