Dear One,
When I say,
“We like you
Just the way you are”
I am not saying,
“Never change.”
Who you are
Is delightful,
Exquisite, new,
And radiant.
But
If you stayed complacent
As an apple tree sapling,
The world might never
Get to enjoy your flowers,
Your fruit, and your shade.
Growing doesn't mean
Changing from apples to oranges.
It means becoming the
Most lovely apple tree
Planted just as you are.
And we love you for it.
