SHORT POEM: BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED

I wrote this short poem awhile back when I was frustrated with where I was at in life. My life wasn’t turning out how I had imagined. This poem reminded me that life is not about a specific destination. Life is a journey. We never actually “arrive”. Cause if we did then we would cease to exist. I hope you find this poem encouraging.

You may not be exactly where you wanted

But best believe that you shouldn’t take things for granted

Life has a funny way of showing you what you need

So embrace the process because you will be glad that you did

So I say to you “ Bloom where you are planted ”.

Right now you maybe feeling exhausted

Your dreams and goals making you feel like you are being haunted.

Perhaps you are on the verge of losing your mind

Hoping and praying that peace, you will find.

You should probably allow yourself to shed a tear or two

Or maybe even until your face turns blue.

And after that reach out to somebody

But not just anybody or everybody

When you are done with the crying (however long that will take)

And your tears are drying

Take a piece of paper and write down all the things you are grateful for

Read them over everyday and watch how gratitude will overflow

And before you know it, with a changed attitude

You can start blooming where you are planted!

Thanks for reading! XOXO
