Joyce Johnson Poet Light Verse

Two For a Buck

Flowers

Flowers are but a small preview
of the gifts that are awaiting you
in the home reserved by God on high
in His Heaven hidden by the sky.

Weeds

A plant of significance and worth
regaled and loved somewhere on Earth
is a weed although it doesn't know it
if appearing where you wouldn't grow it.
