Tangled Vines - Contest

When we weave life's garden We plant  Honesty to teach us whats right Lilly of the valley, to remind us,  no matter how small, we matter The Rose  to teach us love The proud Daffodil that says  who you are is important The Honeysuckle to bring the scent of happiness into our lives The Trees that remind us how insignificant we can look yet shelter us from sun and rain the tears and hopes. Always spreading out to protect us The actual Tangled Vine is a deadly act, huge thorns to hold its victim secreting an aesthetic to paralyze its prey sucking away life's blood. People can be like this in a controlling way luckily, most families, override this bringing up their children to be free thinkers with the ability to choose. Life is like a tangled vine. Sometimes suffocating when you want to be free, needed to hold you up when  life hurts. Penned July 1 2013
