Love is like a plant

Love is like a plant.

It starts from a tiny seed. A glance. A hello. A smile. A kind word.

It breaks you free from your shell and makes you reach for the light.
It is your confidence, and your hope keeping you through the night.

But you must give it water and good soil so its roots grow deep.
Fresh affections and a pure heart, willing to forgive, accept imperfections, and take a faithful leap.

Only then can the plant flourish, and without good sun it may wither away.
With good cheer and a positive attitude it will grow strong else it may go stray.

But some loves blossom and bear fruit, passing the seeds on to the next generation.
The children and the knowledge and the cycle of love all over again.

To be replayed on the stage til the celestial curtain draws to a close

and even the brilliant fires of the stars shall cool and fade.
