Confidence Grows

 

 

Like leaves 
on the trees,

in bold shades of green,

It begins 
as a seed,

underground and unseen. 

 

Just a hint
of new life,
of the strength from within,

 

Just a dream,
a desire
for growth to begin.

 

Fragile at first,
no more 
than a breath 

 

As roots then 
take hold
in firm, solid earth. 

 

Small, but alive,
and slowly
it shows,

 

with each
passing day,
my confidence grows.
