"On my journey through life,

I have met people like weeds and flowers;

I let all the weeds wither;

and gather up the flowers in a precious bouquet."

Quote _ Constance La France

______________________________________________

I have built a brick wall courtyard to protect me, from the outside it is a barrier- a fortification; but inside there are crevices and fissure openings, and it is a beautiful and safe walled enclosure; for in life there are people like flowers or weeds. People come into my life and I accept them, but in time each show there true story colors; and sometimes those colors are not very pretty, those people become the weeds in my garden; I exile them so they can fade outside my wall But, the people who become my soul-mates, well, these are the flowers in my garden of life; people who enhance, restore me- my bouquets, oh, our bond is strong- I hold them to my heart; in a niche, crack, crevice they will always dwell. I have built a brick wall for my flowers and me, for I only keep the good and not the bad ; oh yes, in time each show their strength- weakness, the strong are treasured, weeds just wither away, I keep the kindred in the crannied cracks of my wall. ____________________________ March 2, 2020 Poetry/Verse/Within My Crannied Wall Copyright Protected, ID 20-1232-663-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Submitted to Strand Choice B sponsor, Brian Strand Honorable Mention

Congratulations on your HM Constance. Life is, as you wisely say, about weeding out the life giving from the life draining.
