grow

there's a little plant.
growing in my garden.
it's wanting to grow.
but it's unsure.
it's scared.
it doesn't know if it can face the light.
it doesn't know if i will love it.
if i will care for it.
or if i will forget about it.
if it would grow,
it would bloom into a beautiful flower.
but it's unsure.
it's scared.
it doesn't know if it can face the light.
it doesn't know if i will love it.
if i will care for it.
or if i will forget about it.
it doesn't know that i will love it,
even if it had not been what i thought.
it didn't know that i would care for it.
so it stayed.
it didn't want to grow.
because it was scared.
it secretly wanted to.
but it didn't know.
but it's unsure.
it's scared.
it doesn't know if it can face the light.
it doesn't know if i will love it.
if i will care for it.
but i tell that little seed,
waiting to grow into a beautiful flower,
"i will always love you"
"grow, my child"
"be the beautiful flower that you were meant to be"
"don't be afraid"
"i will love you"
"i will be here with you, caring for you"
"so don't worry"
"don't be anxious"
"don't be scared"
"grow, my child"
"grow and be the beautiful flower i have called you to be."
and so the seed grows.
it's a beautiful flower.
proud.
courageous.
bold.
lovely.
perfect.
it's everything i knew it would be.
it trusted me.
and it grew into a beautiful flower.

don't be like the scared flower.
don't be scared of God's plans.
grow, child.
grow.
God knows what you are going to be.
He knows that you are not something horrible.
He knows that you are a beautiful flower.
because He created you.
He will grow you.
trust.
know.
believe.
have faith, child.
grow.
you will be beautiful.
just have trust.
just know.
just believe.
have faith, child.
grow.
grow. 
He will always love you.
so don't worry.
don't be frustrated.
don't be scared.
don't fear the Light.
for He loves you.
He always has.
He always will.
just have trust.
just know.
just believe.
have faith, child.
grow.
grow.
you are a beautiful flower.
grow.
grow.
