Bloom like a blossom

Poem that uses the flower as an extended metaphor for encouragement of self growth.

Bloom like the blossom

Like a flower when it's first planted
The sight is not pleasant
It's just seeds
Not knowing
Of its progress
Whether it will succeed or fail

Day by day it's water
And given sunshine
It stands and wait-
"You'll soon grow,"
The planter says

Each day passes by
Nothing happens
When will it be?
And just before it loses hope...
There a little petal appears

How beautiful
How magical
Though-
Little it is
This is just beginning

And so like the blossom
There you stand
Stuck in this messy situation
"You'll never make it you'll never make it"
You tell yourself

Though more power more authority
You obtain
Imagine this blossom
No authority at all
Given not

Can be crushed
By giant footsteps
Can be pulled out
By little children or infants
But yet-

The blossom has greater faith
To still hope
For the very best
Then how about you
Who in charge of your life

Can change the vision of your destination?

Drown it
Feel it
Keep it
Grow it
And bloom like the blossom!
