I love this poem! The first stanza is great, and I loved the personification of Growth throughout the poem. There are a couple things that I think might improve the flow of the poem.
First off, a consistent rhyme scheme. In some areas, you use rhyme, but in others you don't. I don't know if it was a stylistic choice or not, but it just didn't really work for me.
Secondly, punctuation. After blood, I would put a period instead of a comma. You're still talking about Growth, but you're no longer describing her. Instead, you're describing the event that the poem is about. I'd signal that transition with a period.
Also, you need a period after eyes, since it's the end of a sentence. It would be more grammatically correct if you put a period after blade as well.
Great work!
