The Weed

A weed, strong and resilient

bursting through harsh terrain

struggles and fights to remain.

 

A flower, nurtured and cared for

raised in a bed - rich and full

watered, trimmed, and

one you never pull.

 

Why is one a flower and one a weed? Both started from a seed.

All surrounded by humming friends

each needing light and water to the end.

 

In comes a hand that’s always gloved

to pull a flower that’s just not loved.
