Weight Of Goodness Poem by Savita Tyagi

Last year we planted some lilies.
In our ignorance drenched them
With access fertilizer wishing to
Have good flower growth.

With the start of the spring
The plants became green,
With tops covered with buds.

May brought the heavy rains and storm.
I watched lilies bent all the way down.
Once the golden sunshine started to spread
I supported them with extra dirt.

Now the lilies are at full bloom
And bent again all the way down.
I watch the cluster of lovely flowers
And regret giving too much fertilizer.
Wishing and praying for the plants
To not break under their flowery weight.

Beauty and virtue,
Goodness and fruitfulness
Carry their own prolific weight.
Try not to burden yourself or
Appeal to goodness of others
Without giving them time to
Become adequately prepared.

If led upon the path of goodness
Teach yourself to bend humbly
To carry that extra weight,
Like lilies bend with big flowers.
