The courage to bloom


Transitions can be challenging: we know this — 
Even the ones we go through over and over again. 
As a child, starting school in the fall, 
We ache to leave the summer behind 
And worry what the new school year will bring. 
As adults, each move, each new job, 
Each relationship that ends or begins 
Awakens those same questions.
 I draw courage from the perennials, 
The rhodies and the daffodils 
Who burst from the earth and buds each spring 
To give us a taste of the beauty that’s to come 
When we leave the constraints of the past 
And flower into the light.
