Weeds I know... the first thing, that comes to mind; pulling them, getting them out, stopping them... from everything they do. But what do they do? They grow, in all the hardest soil. They bring the first flowers, to feed the bees. They brighten parkways, and break up the city, with an aide-memoire... that life is real. They are a reminder... that tenacity is a gift. Not like all the rest, as it takes work, an effort. A. Foster aka Ann Foster BooksbyAFoster.com Have a wonderful day!

Here's to tenacity, to bulldog-like persistence, to never saying UNCLE! -- to Weeds! Way to see between the cracks, Ann! :) gw

Yes.. hehe... I even go on hunting and collection expeditions for them now. I want to learn to make coffee. In case, coffee is no longer available in my area at some point. Things happen. Love your work.. Have a truly blessed life. Ann

LOL... yes. I too use to disapprove of their intrussion. Now, I welcome them. I guess life really is a long set of lessons... Ty for stopping by. Ty for your kind comments... You are an excellent poet. You should write a book. Ann Irish Rancher

Nice perspective on weeds. Many of them have medicinal benefits as well. Enjoyed your thought-provoking poem.
