Patiently Tending Your Garden of Dreams

 Seeds of thought take time to germinate.
Conditions must be just right.
Warmth and cold,
watering tears.
Roots seek nourishment,
form a network of stability,
then tiny shoots appear
at just the right time.

What was once a dream
will grow into reality.
Your heart’s desire
shall come to pass.
Wait
and be patient.
Be full of gratitude for where you are now,
where you have been planted
for however long it takes.
The gardener of your soul
knows when it’s time to prune,
uproot and transplant.
Be patient.
