What I Learned from Flowers
A flower doesn’t concern itself with the one beside it
It grows independently in time,
it doesn’t look to its side
or
try to hide behind
the weeds for fear of inferiority
A flower blooms the way it was intended to
regardless of what it is surrounded by
because a bluebonnet isn’t a daisy
a blossom isn’t a tulip,
a lily isn’t an iris and a
lotus isn’t a honeysuckle,
nor does the sun nourish it as such.
You wouldn’t look at a rose and wish it were a lily.
