Blossom
You remind me of a flower
First seen in the spring
Started from a bulb someone carefully put in the ground
Dark dirt around you with only one way out
You had to fight to come above and stay there
With your roots in the earth as a reminder
Of the distance you already had to cross
Once you grow
You meet others in the garden
Insects, flowers, bushes and trees
You’re suspicious; you don’t know what it is they want
So you don’t show you’re beauty all at once
Keep your presence secretly
While everything including you gets closer to the sky
While you’re getting bigger, you get stronger
And allow the sun to peek inside
What’s hiding behind your blue petals
Show what you are all about
The sun becomes your ally
After a while and bit by bit
You open up and show the beauty of the flower you concealed inside
So when you run into others in the garden
Give the both of you some time
Cause it’s not easy to see your covered up blossom
You’ll become more beautiful in there eyes every time
