“I wouldn't coax the plant if I were you.
Such watchful nursing may do it harm.
Let the soil rest from so much digging
And wait until it's dry before you water it.

Give it a chance to seek the sunlight for itself.
Much growth is stunted by too careful prodding,
Too eager tenderness.
The things we love we have to learn to leave alone.”
