We start as a seed.
We are buried in earth,
receive water, warmth,
and nutrients from the soil.
Eventually, we pop out of our shell
and reach up and out.
We sprout.
With proper care, we grow, we get bigger.
We sprout leaves to absorb light and energy.
With time we bud.
Then we bloom.
We become ourselves, what we were meant to be.
It is through this journey of growth
that brings understanding of our nature and purpose.
It also brings knowledge, which we pass onto others
so they might also grow into what they are meant to be.
Learn. Grow into this purpose.  Share what you know. 
Help others.
But most of all,
stand tall, strong, and beautiful
as you were meant to.
