The Gardner's Touch

Self confidence…
So fragile, so elusive, so precious.
A seed, sown by few.
Planted carelessly, often trampled.
Watered sparingly, if at all.
Roots that dig deep and take hold early in life.

So difficult to gain, yet so simple to give…
A loving look, a gentle touch, an encouraging word.
The security and warmth of approval,
Trust, caring, honesty…
And love…
Nourishing the seed that grows into the flower…
Self esteem.
