As I start my springtime weeding <br />Uncertainty flows over me <br />For sometimes I’m not sure <br />What this tiny plant will be <br /> <br />I want to be so careful, of course <br />To not pull out the wrong thing <br />Everything is growing now <br />After all, my friend, it’s spring <br /> <br />And that is the same with people <br />On our list of ‘so called’ friends <br />We aren’t always sure they are <br />For there can be many blends <br /> <br />Whether relationships or flowers <br />Before we plant those tiny seeds <br />We need to ask ourselves <br />Are they flowers or are they weeds?<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/flowers-or-weeds/
