Weeds and Wildflowers





Some people define a green shoot with leaves and a yellow flower as just a weed.

I find it amusing that weeds receive criticism for their strengths.  

They push through cement, slither into cracks, extend their roots into harsh soil.  

One tug cannot dislodge them.  Often movement to do so releases more seeds.  What tenacity!

Weeds bloom where they become deposited by the wind and house finches.

Many of today's cultivated flowers began as weeds with determination.

Develop a metaphor to define your view of perseverance.
