The poppies

The poppies grow in our garden

We did not plant them

But still they grow

They are more beautiful than the ones raised to be perfect

Because what they display is all natural

Even when they are considered weeds

Still, you must admire them

Because the poppies are made of true beauty

Not put on for a show

I will marvel at those poppies

Who sprout up among the grass

I gaze at the poppies

In the well tended flower bed

Without control of where the seeds land

Sometimes the poppies grow

In a place "not meant to be"

But the poppies defy what is known as right

Because we have no control over true beauty

They truly are stunning

Though some may say

That the more there are the better they look

But what makes the poppy so unique

Is that they never stay together

They are the untamed wild poppy

And nobody can change that

No one can take away a poppy
