Bloom Wherever You Are
Bloom Wherever You Are
Wherever you find yourself bloom right there
Remember the lotus starts in mud
Growing roots in murky places
Belies the beauty you will become
The petals and fragrance from hardship
Struggle and adversity are the roots
Making you strong enough to rise
Fight your way forward and upward
Stars shine their brightest
In the darkness of night.
Bloom wherever you are in this moment
Make your light visible in every space
The preciousness of time means
Starting right now is the best seed
Nourish yourself with what’s at hand
Add as you go along the way
Meaningful verses in the grand play
Be more than just parentheses
Make your journey count
And find yourself lost in service.
