when i came home from work, my mom told me one of
the plants i had planted sprouted. i don’t know if it was a zucchini or a
squash, but i went the garden and sure enough, there was a baby plant! i wonder
how come the others didn’t grow, but my parents said i probably planted them
too deep. they said not to worry, some take longer than others to grow and
reassured me i’d see progress in time. i know what they said was about plants,
but it made me think of myself, who i am, and who i want to become. maybe i came
into this world dug a little deeper than most, but in time, eventually i’ll
sprout and grow into who i’m destined to become. i like the sound of that, but
i digress. point is, the first sprout grew!
