What Will You Get Rid of Next

Daisy chain
Dandelion fun.
Smell stems.
But gorgeous flowers.

Weeds?
No way!
The prettiest offerings
In the yard.
I throw out my hands.

Crazy that anyone 
Would want to
Get rid of them!
What?
Are you nuts?

What will you try to get rid of next?
Imagination?
Faeries?
Pixie dust?
Rainbows?
Unicorns?

No way I say.
These are not weeds.
They are God’s sunniest flowers!

Hugs. Oh yes. They are the best flowers in the garden as they are the first. They invite the butterflies and the bees to sit right down, stay awhile, the promise of more to come... Lovely write my friend. I truly enjoyed it. Ann

I have them all over my yard. If I could plant more I would, but they multiply so fast I do not need to.
