Cute! This is something that I believe every human being needs to keep in mind. “you are a delicate flower”: we do not come into this world strong and mighty and all-knowing. Instead, our origins are disorganized and fragile and without a straight path. “let yourself grow”: we don’t need to rush to be the best version of ourselves. Rather, it is important to be patient and to allow ourselves to make some mistakes on our journey towards maturation.
I also like the way that title is actually a continuation of the poem instead of a mere representation of what it’s about. However, I do think you could come up with a even better title that has a similar kind of effect as well as gives the reader a clue as to the main analogy of this poem. I am thinking along the lines of selecting a word or phrase that maintains that involvement with plants and Mother Nature. For example:
“reach towards the sun,”
“but not so far that you burn.
you are a delicate flower.
let yourself grow.”
Again, this is just an idea, but I think it would be interesting because, instead of just outright telling the reader to do something – “listen” – it makes the entire poem focus on the subject of plants and growth while also presenting the theme about allowing yourself to flourish at your own pace.
