Aspirations

Some flowers might aspire to smell as sweet
as roses in full bloom or their aspect
if they could only think. Would they reflect
upon their lives and feel it was complete?

To be admired in shows would be a treat
if vanity were theirs. I must reject
some flowers might aspire to smell as sweet
as roses in full bloom or their aspect

for nature's panoply would then retreat.
Variety of species could be wrecked
and gardeners, with nothing to collect,
would plant a mundane row and then repeat
some flowers might aspire to smell as sweet.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.
