Confidence
Firm hands planted these precious bulbs. deep into the
hard ground.
Keen eyes watched it as the ground above it was pound.
Seasons of change seeped into the soil above it
Did the early foundation fit?
Strong and steady it proved to be.
Beautiful in spring the blooms stretched free.
Next year. weeds of despair blocked the sunlight.
Starvation made it unable to fight.
Resting beneath the turmoil was the key.
Knowing that the sun will set it free.
Future stems stretched higher to the sky.
Double was their wave of hi.
