Planted in loose soil

"It takes time to grow," winced the baby plant - "To raise to meet expectations tall and find strength in storms and silence."

"Do not feel watered down, the towering trees in the neighbourhood advised"."Give this some time as you will need to provide sun and shade as you reach heights of happiness and pains alternatively", the oldest among the lot swayed while breathing in deep felt sighs.

"But how do I grow when elements are not supportive?" the sapling asked. It added, "Soiled the lands are and already tilled the trails of experience.Seeds half sown and premature shoots struggling to get planted has made way for me, another entry in the nursery.A long journey this...."-

The fog gets cleared as the fittest of the strong survivors wipes clean the clouds of doubt with its leaves swaying bringing with it dew drops of heavenly rain.

The sapling though loosely held, grasped one thing though: Be down to earth and the rest will fall in its place.It's time to grow.
