Janne van Kesteren Poet Rhyme

Taking care of an orchid

Taking care of it is what I must do
Of that vulnerable part inside of me,  
That needs love and support too.

Because growing up, it got bruised a bit,  
And now it’s challenging to live life,  
When every bump feels like a new hit.

This part in me can be compared to fragile things,  
Like a bird falling out of its nest,  
And is forced to live life with broken wings.

Or an ant, separated from its swarm,  
Not able to carry any weight,  
And vulnerable to what could do it harm.

So good care and protection are much needed,  
Like how you would take care of an orchid,  
That you just have seeded.

It will flourish and grow,  
With enough water, light, and soil,  
And I will too,  
I just sprout a little bit slow.
