grow where you are planted

Dedicated to my Aunt Estelle

grow

grow where you are planted
grow tall, loud, unapologetic and strong

some people may see you as an inconvenience
you make life difficult for them
just by your existence
others will stop and recognise your beauty
but do not grow for anybody else.

grow tall, grow big,
grow,
unapologetic for who you are.

When you are completely yourself you please God
when you let go of everything that is not you,
you are healing

we are here to be ourselves completely
to speak our truth
to shine our light in the dark places and to be the beacon to welcome each other home

so, my darling,
grow
grow where ever you are planted
no matter how difficult or uncomfortable
you were placed there for a reason
it is your light that is required,
your strength

ask God
show me what it is I need to do for you
and give me the strength that I need to get it done

Thy will be done
Thy will be done

and it is thy will that I grow where I have been planted
and I will grow
