Greener

In my eyes, my grass will always be greener.

That may not always be true, but I’ll never really know.

You see, I only tend to my own garden.

What others are planting is none of my concern.

I water what’s mine, I weed out what’s dead, I plant more seeds.

I know that my garden will bloom when it’s supposed to –

Keeping track of others will not benefit my flowers.

When the time is right, I will handpick my bouquet –

Knowing they blossomed because I chose to focus only on mine.

What you choose to water, will grow.

My Garden

A beautiful garden takes time and dedication.

You just don’t hope for a garden to appear –

you strategically plan for what it will be.

For you are not only prepping for the flowers themselves,

but the entire environment for where they will grow.

You can’t expect a full garden to thrive

when you haven’t even considered the necessities:

space, water, light, nutrients, and temperature.

When the basic needs are nurtured and cared for,

only then can you go above and beyond the ordinary.

My garden started off empty, but what

kept me consistent was the idea of what it could be.

I knew if I kept caring for my garden,

eventually the fruits of my labor would appear.

I hand-picked the seeds I wanted to grow.

I focused in on what I needed to improve.

I started to water myself, nurturing my soul.

Now, my garden is starting to bloom in full effect.

The seeds that I have planted many seasons ago

are finally starting to blossom.

I never thought my garden would be possible…

But here I am, surrounded by so many flowers.

My garden is full and forever blossoming.
