You’re a black orchid.
Black orchids are rare.
Therefore, so are you.
But you are a specific type.
You are a Kiwi Midnight Cymbidium.
Black, with a touch of green.
Light green.

You are light.
You need light.
You need water.
You need all the right nutrients.
Joy, peace, hope, faith, trust, and love.
You need to grow.
But just as much as you need to grow,
You need to prune.

Prune away.
Leave the old,
Leave the ugly.
Make room for new,
Make room for beauty.

There is none like you.
You need to stay alive.
You are needed.
You’re a black orchid.
Rare.
