A Bloom

A plant starts out as a whole. If someone cares for it and tends to its needs, it will grow.

And I did, for a while.

But when someone starts to overlook it - forget to water it, leave it in a small pot, forget to care for it, the plant will start to whither. and sag.

And I did.

For so very long.

But someone came along that noticed.

And begun to care, to tend, to feed that whithered little plant.

It noticed the sunlight again. And it grew.

It understood its importance. And it grew.

It was given nutrients, attention, and love.

And it flowered.

As did I.

The funny thing?

That, someone, was me.

My flower has begun to bloom again.
