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.
