On my kitchen window
sits an orchid plant.
Its flowers have long dropped.
It is not the prettiest of things
without its magnificent yet delicate flowers.
What do I do with it now?
It looks like a twig in a pot
with a few leaves hinting at life.
Ach, it really is an ugly thing.
Who wants to look at that?
And yet with so little effort on my part, a little water now and again,
(and I mean now and again)
I start to see some buds appear.
A bit more time then.
And my is it worth the wait!
Those flowerheads are triumphant!
What if I had just given up?
What if that twig had landed in the compost bin?
What if, at my lowest moment, people gave up on me?
