Blindsided

Funny how you begin your day with a smile Thinking the coming hours will grace your style So you hurry to get to where you want to be Carry out the mundane which keep you busy as a bee No sooner you put those feet up to bask in sunny fields Never dreaming that weeds have sprouted amongst seeds Seeds planted in joy for simple pleasure and delight Then you discover joy lays dead, blindsided by weeds out of sight ~*~
Note: In this instance, "weeds" are unexpected words. no ref. to anyone, please.

Wow! "Blindsided by weeds," words that hurt. You keep that smile on your face and don't let any weeds disturb your trip to that sunny field. Very insightful write, Annalise! Love, Carolyn
