Flowers and weeds.

Flowers.

Delicate. Classic. Sometimes Feminine. Beautiful All The Time.

No one should under estimate the power of flowers. Yes, they do have that, "They'll be dead in a week!" stigma attached to them. But as a person who appreciates little gestures, and the little smile on your face when you smell a sweet rose, I love flowers.

It should be noted though, the gift of one flower, does indeed, take just as much thought as a whole bouquet.

Some times life can be like a flower. We are the small little seed earthed in a place so significant, only God knows why we fell there. We come above ground not knowing our surroundings, some of us are on a branch with others just like us, some are in fields with flowers just as beautiful, and some of us will end up being a single flower among weeds.

As we grow, we might not see our differences from those around us, and we can keep on growing, living life as we see it. God is our sun, our life line and journey. Water and rain is opportunity that comes to us, just as it comes to the weeds around us. But as a flower, we take the water and use it to nourish our souls, so that we may keep making the reach toward the sun. The sun that gives us life. The sun we can always count on rising each morning. We stretch and  seize each ray trying to reach it, knowing that it has been good to us, and believing that it holds promises and life. Everyday, we look for its shining warmth, having faith that it will one day shine on the reason we were born among weeds.

But are we really a flower? What if we are just a weed too? Although not as beautiful as a flower, a weed also grows towards the sun as well. It too waits for the sun to come up every day. If a weed is given the same opportunity as a flower it too can be beautiful. It too can reach for the sun and soak up the rain, even though it looks just like the weed beside it.  Perhaps we should know that not all flowers deserve to be flowers, and some weeds, well some weeds are really flowers on the inside. And they live to reach for the sun, and make the world a little more beautiful.
