That Ugly Patch I drive by this certain patch of grass every day. I hardly ever notice it. Likely no one does It's frankly pretty ugly. I know its ugly. Everyone knows it's ugly.. It has been ugly for a long time. But it is still there. It still exists. No one bothers. No one notices. No one cares But it is still there. Existing. Tomorrow I am going to buy some seeds A mixture of wildflowers Of all shapes, size, and colour. I'm going to stop there at that ugly spot Because no one will bother Because no one will notice Because no one will care But I do, and I'm going there. I will scatter the seeds over that ugly patch of land And watch as the beauty takes form I will watch as others realize and wonder where the beauty that resides there came from They will wonder why they never noticed it before And maybe it will cause some to look back I will bring beauty to something Even if its only a small patch of land... I bet I will see moms taking their babies out for Spring photos I bet there will be lovers sitting in the middle of that sea of colour for picnics I bet this ugly transformed into beautiful patch of earth Will be glad to hold up anyone who wishes to cross For it has always been there It has always been strong It has always had potential for beauty It only needed someone who cared enough Someone to plant those seeds Someone who cared enough to look and a fertile mind so that they can thrive and a caring heart to bother in the first place. This patch of land that no one cares about, I will bring out the beauty. This patch of land that no one noticed before, will bring pleasant memories to many who haven't a clue. Something that will live on for a good many years and bring joy, even if only to a few..... Wendy Anderson - 07 (as long as some asshole doesnt come along and mow it down!) |
