G R O W
planted a little seed
waited for it to grow
watched it stand tall
realized what I didn’t know.
I didn’t know what I needed to grow was:
patience to see clear
hope that it will get better
community that makes you stronger
love that surrounds
forgiveness that teaches
I added this to my sed
saw it grow, surprisingly
grew lopsided and then straight
took a while, but these things sealed my fate.
