Notes About The Poem

Unseen Color

There is a small flower, 
that often grows everywhere. 
It is tiny and hard to see. 
Often, considered or thought,
a 
weed.

Yet...

This little, 
special and unique
flower,
came from an even smaller seed.

Faith.
It… 
is the promise of spring 
to every butterfly.

Hello Ann Foster, yes that little flower did have faith to grow even though it is a wed. Weeds are strong and very hard to get rid of. Have a nice day my friend.

Hello Ann,dandelions are weeds, yet some people make wine from the leaves. Also put the leaves into salad.Some make wine also. So this is a useful weed. Have a nice day my friend.

In heaven, there is a great garden, and weeds are welcome. They are the first to flower and welcome the bees in spring. God Bless weeds. Thank you so kindly for your comments. :) Hugs. Ann

Faith - the best flower of all! I kept guessing the names of flowers - dandelion? Violet? Daisy? Hope. Faith - of course! Loved the way you tied in the butterfly too.

All the flowers went through my head as well when I started. Yet all seemed slightly less colorful then faith itself. Thank you for your kind comment. Have an incredible day. Ann

Thanks for reading my Big Girls Do Cry poem. It is a personal favourite along with Broken People and Cup of Empty. I am pleased by your reaction to it.

I will check out the other two. I truly love the Big girls. If they are at all alike, I know that I will enjoy them... Have a truly lovely day. Ann

I was drawn to this one because I am colour blind. I still think my world is colourful due to the way I view it. I enjoyed this piece.

We should all be colour blind... We would be better off for it. Hugs Ann
