THE WEED
A weed is but an unloved flower!
Go dig, and prune, and guide, and wait,
Until it learns its high estate,
And glorifies some bower.
A weed is but an unloved flower!
All sin is virtue unevolved,
Release the angel from the clod--
Go love thy brother up to God.
Behold each problem solved.
All sin is virtue unevolved.

Oh, I see it more as a wake-up call on how we sometimes look at weeds ;).
Like "it's a flower too'

So true! It is a beautiful way of looking at it indeed. But now I have an excuse for not removing the weeds out of the garden :D
