Wisdoms From Flowers
Wisdoms from Flowers
People are like flowers.
Even the weediest of plants enjoys living.
Each one has its unique beauty…and purpose.
Whether thriving in a cottage garden,
Or living restrained in a formal knot garden,
Flowers flourish when given loving care.
So it is with people.
Love and care is the key to winning in life.
There are so many diversities among us.
Some seem "weedy" and unrefined.
Some seem "snooty" and uncaring.
Some seemingly thrive amid affluence.
Some judge without seeing the heart.
Some struggle in the midst of hatred.
Anger, backbiting, gossip, lies, and jealousies destroy –
Causing souls to wither like the wilting of a thirsty plant.
But in the arms of love,
Individual uniqueness thrives.
And the world becomes a better place.
Mankind prospers beautifully with tolerance.
Diversity, inside and out, grows.
Prizewinning blooms are cultivated.
Hardiness and fitness show,
When there is love in the garden.
Beauty surrounds and joy abounds.
And the gardener, knowing, glows.
