poem
Plant Something
1 min read
When life becomes lonely, — people search
When life becomes lonely,
people search
for another person.
Sometimes...
the first thing you should find
is a seed.
Plant tomatoes.
Grow basil.
Raise flowers
that no one else may ever notice.
Why?
Because lonely people
need something
that depends on them.
Watch what happens.
Every morning
you check the soil.
Every afternoon
you notice another leaf.
Without realizing it...
you've begun
looking forward
to tomorrow.
Purpose
is one of the greatest medicines
ever discovered.
It doesn't erase pain.
It slowly gives pain
less room to live.
Maybe you cannot change
your whole life today.
But you can water
one small thing.
And tomorrow...
it will quietly
teach you
how to grow again.
