One Single Impression: Weed

.
The Weed 

 Lowly weed growing in a sidewalk crack 
Trampled by many yet noticed by some 
 Wise bodies busy rush, they see me not 
Seems old and young enjoy my friendly smiles 
 The young pluck my smiles, bouquets for their Mums 
Savored by old, adorning their lapels 
 Though I'm just a weed in the sidewalk crack 
For some my blossoms are pretty flowers
Dreamers see what wisemen can't

The flower pictured is from a previous post . It was found growing by the sidewalk in Killarney, Ireland. I did not notice but a part of it may have been growing from a crack in that sidewalk.
