It never ceases to amaze me how they can grow between cracks. A good reminder that we, too, can flourish in spite of adversity.

Then the guy in the road sweeping lorry comes along in one of his poetic moods, and poisons and brushes the poor little flower away.

Yup, great metaphor about hope too.

Wonderful. It always amazes me to see life valiantly sprouting in the most unusual and sometimes, the most difficult, places.

Gotta love it . . . The political arena this year in America has the theme of one seemingly Superstar candidate campagning on the theme of "Hope: Yes We Can," and you have swerved into the hope with this beautiful poem about things growing through the cracks in the sidewalk . . . I love it . . .

Beautiufl picture and lovely poem that reminds me of the song...There is a rose in Spanish Harlem. The strength of these flowers and roses that survive where nothing should survive sets a good example for all of us...

Your poem is about survival in spite of..... I like it and its brevity says it fully. I like all yellow flowers and the photo is amazingly indicative of how yellow changes the landscape. In a class by itself! - Bill

Isn't it amazing what God can do? Shows us humans that, even surrounded by cement, we can grow through the cracks, persevere - well done, Dawn, love this style as well.

Dawn,

This is quite a unique style you have. Short but says so much. Whenever I see flowers or even grass for that matter, growing through the crack of cement or asphalt I always remember the spiritual story of the mustard seed. Nature nurtures her creations just as Our Lord nurtures our souls. Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.
