Shirley Hawkins Poet Monorhyme

A Survivor

The earth was hard, dusty and dry,
Then, as we were driving by
Out of the corner of my eye
A bright blue flower looking toward the sky
It looked so beautiful it made me sigh.
It was a survivor; I wonder why?

Shirley Hawkins April 22, 2023 at 3:59 PM You have to wonder sometimes if it is the survival of the fittest or a sign telling us not to give up as anything is possible. (A mixture of both?) Take care, Shirley
