A few months ago
I worked in the dirt
digging holes and
planting bulbs
pulling weeds and watering.
Then I waited.
I walked by the flowerbed
everyday
as I got home from work
to see if the bulbs had sprouted.
Week after week
nothing.
Just mulch and maybe some weeds.
Then
One day
A green sprout
I rejoiced!
The next day,
even more.
And now...
My grandma warns me
"They may not bloom this year"
But I can wait
Because I know
they will come at the right time
