The Child

The child is like a bud,
ready to bloom on its own!
Some early, some later,
All buds do bloom!
Do not force them open sooner,
for they are not ready!
Do not give up hope,
for there are late bloomers!
Give them the space instead,
and nurture them with love ‘n sunshine!
Water them regularly,
and keep them away from the strays!
Enjoy the beauty,
never compare it with another bud!
For a rose and jasmine,
are two different flowers when they bloom!!
