Bloom and Smile


Does the daisy apologize to the rose
Because she is white and not red?
Does the holly-hock wish it were very small
And delicate lobelia instead?
I’ve never heard the butter-cup sigh
Because it’s been sown in the wild
Is it not the same then for you and I?
We should bloom where we’re planted and smile

  2. Anthony, I agree. Perhaps this was written to remind myself of that truth:)?
