Flower Power!!!!!!

Gardens grow with tender love They die with the preachers rhetoric Judge not by the bragging See how one tends to others A caress Wins the flowers heart Ask any butterfly

Wow such an inspiring read you've created here. Love the last phrase as it embraces the verse and speaks volumes. Interesting read. Much enjoyed.

Actions speak louder than words. Talk is cheap(the rhetoric) The Gardens are the people being tended with love of others or the butterfly tending the flower, winning the flowers heart. Love this Arthur wonderful analogies from human to flowers to butterflies. The response is the same when we are tended to with love...A 7+++

So simple, so beautiful and so true. The butterflies know better than us, unless of course we change into butterflies when we can.

the most beautiful flowers are such because they are not arrogant-- they just shine despite being judged by jealous ones... you are a garden of wise words, arthur!,, bless you..huggs
