Any Plant That Grows


Slight, but worth it (I think) for one line.

Any plant that grows,
sometimes,
you just don't want to step on.
God knows, the world has weeds enough (and thyme),
but let's be honest:
There are days
when nothing is accomplished,
and even in a parking lot,
a seedling trying to make it
earns our praise.

That's the one. I just thought it was a knee-slapper (relatively speaking).
