My life has been a rich bouquet
Composed of flowers, weeds and thorns.
I cherish,  give value to every one
For different gifts they’ve given me.

Flowers bloomed beauty in my path.
Weeds put obstacles before me.
Thorns taught grappling with problems.
All were life lessons necessary.

My life has changed, bouquet no longer
My lot is now a fallow field
Ready to grow what seeds are planted.

My life’s become simplicity.
Time to be one rose complete.
For more is less and less is more.

    I like that you value the weeds as much as the pretty flowers; they each teach us different lessons 🙂 ❤

      Thanks. I think I value the weeds and thorns more than flowers because they make me grow. The flowers are always there no matter what if I look for them. I once sat beside a fallow field and learned to value it because in its being it already contained the nutrients for seeds and bulbs to grow, as long as rain and sun joined the cycle. ❤
