Never Presume

A man’s lack of worth, because of dismal origin, We should never presume For Out of, the unappealing thorny body of a cactus, The prettiest flowers bloom! © Demetrios Trifiatis 04 MARCH 2015

I've seen cactus' blooming in Arizona in April, it is quite spectacular. Seeing people bloom is even more spectacular.
