Petals To the Ground

I allowed a hand to pluck me from my garden... Friends picked up my crushed petals when they fell like tears to the ground without saying, "I told you so."

Superbly written. Friendship bends best in unconditional acceptance, free of "I told you so." Best wishes, Brian

Hi David. I'd not be so disrespectful as to argue with your thoughts. ;). I'm thankful for the many comments you've given me for encouragement and support.

Thank you very much, John. I'm not on Admin's "good girl" list but I think they allowed me a potd a few weeks ago. However, to get a personal potd AND a fave from you is worth more to me. I humbly say, "thank you." I love Boston! Mike's cannolis!!
