POEM - Growth

Growth
You say your broke and broken, that your petals can't stand tall
That all the things you try to do seem to droop and fall
A flower which has seen neglect and wilted over time
The luster that it once knew and the dull replaced the shine
As I look upon the stalk and smell the fragrance pure
This state is temporary, of this I'm really sure
What was undone can be made anew can reach the sky above
All that is needed now is just a little shove
First to set the roots in firm and reach down in the soil
Feel the flow of strength it gives as your veins begin to boil
Then to let the rainfall come and was away the grime
So in the morning your leaves may catch the sunshine
As the stalk grows firm and strong the flower lifts its head
The rain will wash away the tears and cleanse the hurt and dread
Now for just a little help to let you reach your peak
A little love to nourish you and give you what you seek
Feed the soul and comfort you as the dawn comes ever close
And then the sunlight fills the sky it's what you need the most
A sparkling light to touch your leaves as they open wide
The warmth they feel shall strengthen you and touch the heart inside
And when this flower feels again and knows just where to go
It all will come together and the flower will stand tall
You were never broke or broken, no matter what you say
Because I saw there lying dormant the beauty here today
