"They bloom where they are planted"...or..."The crocus don't care"...
I saw a few of them today - I'm sure you've seen them, too
Bold gold or bright, yet deep purple
Poking tender petals through
The brown and gray of castaway
Leaves, twigs, grass the wind blew-
I've seen them in the past-
Green stems, then blooms show
Peeking out at last
Amid the cold, pure white of snow!
So the saying is true-
They bloom where they are planted;
A lesson for both me and you -
The crocus don't care,
they don't seem to care at all -
Their beauty shines forth,
No matter how small.
Hope you get to go outside and enjoy some of the early Spring flowers that are coming up here in the Midwest!
And remember above all to bloom where ever it is that God has planted you in this world. Just as the crocus brings a smile, and encourages the heart, so can you!
