I am going to love the one tender flower I see. Everyday i will feed it, water it. Prune its damaged petals so new and fuller ones can grow back . I will point it towards the sun on days it struggles to bloom. I’ll shelter it through every tropical storm. And i’ll remind it everyday how beautiful it is. Alone, unmatched amongst the environment it is growing in. Rare.
I will love that flower until it is ready to love itself. I’ll make sure that it is a healthy and thriving parent plant. So that when all the seedlings that grow from her start to blossom they will know healthy and thriving conditions too. Idk how much a broken down gardener with shabby tools and nothing to offer the world can make much difference. But if i can love and protect just this one flower. And help her grow into the bloom she will become … i will have done a service to this world. I would have loved how God loved me, and how God wants me to love. So i thank him everyday for the chance to wake up and work hard to make sure this flower blooms.
