The Story of Vocation


Here I am placed in this soil
And covered up
So needy yet courageous.
Thank you
for the water, light and warmth
I need to grow.
Thank you for helping me!
I have energy to sprout!

I’m coming up!
I see the light!
I’m sprouting!
I’m growing!
How exciting!
I feel the energy
in every little leaf and stem !

It takes so long, but you give me hope and courage.
Together we create miracles.

I am a miracle.
I am beautiful.
I will blossom
if I continue
receiving and excepting
the help I need.
Thank you for nurturing me.
