Blooming To Grow
We all experience,
From birth to live...
Going through various phases of life.
Blooming to grow.
And everyone knows,
How awkward this situation can be.
Leaving few who will admit to say,
The ordeal they appreciated.
Many not most,
May have been treated...
Less than a human being.
As they grew to be compared,
To things without feelings.
Or novelties that laughter brings.
With an expectation to accept it and forget,
That childish B.S. to continue.
For the rest of their adulthood.
'Do you remember me like I do you?
Back in those days you had little to say.
But these days?
You appear all grown up.
To become cynical, sarcastic and opinionated.
What has happened to you?'
'Life to live it and the truth to accept.
And people choosing fools they like.
To emulate and influenced to imitate.
With a doing to select them to represent,
Their interests.
Then to expect whomever they elect,
To prove themselves to be...
Competent leaders.
Leaders they later regret may give image of it.
But it takes more than imitation,
That delivers the benefits.'
'Will you stop joking like that.
Where on Earth,
Did you get such crazy thoughts?'
'Observing fools.
And the childish decisions children make.
To later excuse their own mistakes made,
On those who grow to become responsible...
For their actions.
Without blaming adults,
They never listen to with a doing...
To stay finger pointing,
Excuse making children.'
'Wow.
I can't believe you allowed,
This point of view to happen to you!'
'Me either but it did.
And...
What about you?'
'I'm never going to change.
I am as down to Earth as I ever was.'
'That explains more than you can say,
To keep my observations...
Unchanged to remain the same.
And guess what?'
'What?'
'Accept it to believe or not.
And...
For what it's worth?
Both of us are down to Earth.
However,
One of us stays looking down.
And the other?
Has chosen to look around to value reality.
For what it is to see and observe,
What truth is to not delude or self deceive.'
'Gee.
So sorry you feel that way.
Me?
I stay positive.
That negative stuff can mess up,
One's healthy mentality.
Stay faithful.
One never knows the possibilities.'
'I...
Oh, God!
So right you are.'
'I know.
And just think,
If it had not been for me...
You would not have confessed,
How right God is now and all the time!'
'Thank You...God,
For that timeless message.'
'No problem.
Although...
I refuse to take all the credit.
All of us eventually achieves,
The same awareness.'
'Of what?'
'Being down to Earth and what that means.'
'I don't believe you.'
'In time you will.
Remember...
Kept faith is the key,
To keep a healthy mentality.'
'Thank you.
Now that is the message I needed to hear.'
'Where are you going?'
'Home to thank God.
Personally.
I may have overgrown my bloom.
To believe this to be a natural occurrence!'
'I...
Uh...what?'
