My Lima Bean...

So I was at work today... 

And I overheard a co-worker talking about his four year old granddaughter who had planted a lima bean in her class...

Immediately I remembered back to when I was in kindergarten and I had done the same project...

I remember everyday I would run over to my lima bean...

And I would just look at it...

And for a while I didn't see anything but dirt...

And I remember thinking that maybe I had done something wrong...

So I told my mom I was done and that I wanted to give up...

She told me that I needed to be patient and wait for my little bean to grow...

So I continued to water my bean...

Finally one day I saw a little stem popping out from the dirt... 

And I was ecstatic...

My bean had grown...

I had done nothing but what I could do for the bean...

I just needed to be patient with it...

I couldn't make it the bean do what I wanted to do in my own time... 

I had to be patient and be there to help it grow....
