Flowerbeds of Life
Our lives are like flower beds
Everyone’s is different in some way
Sometimes
The people we meet are flowers
Sometimes we meet lilies
Beautiful
Yet delicate
Sometimes we meet roses
Who are pretty from afar
But have thorns on their stem
Sometimes we meet hydrangeas
Big, blooming presences
Hardy and reliable
Yet sometimes
The people we meet are weeds
Sometimes we meet dandelions
Who are beautiful in their own way
But can be harmful
Sometimes we meet clovers
Soft and quiet
Yet destructive
Sometimes we meet nettles
Hidden amongst the crowd
Painful when greeted
