STILL THE FLOWERS GROW

When nights are long and spirits low,

Remember - still the flowers grow.

 

When days are short and full of woe,

Remember - still the flowers grow.

 

When health and wealth ebb to and fro,

Remember - still the flowers grow.

 

When friends and family come and go,

Remember - still the flowers grow.

 

When life has little left to show,

Remember - still the flowers grow.

J.C. - it's a good bet that they will still be here when importunate mankind has departed in
a self-induced, self-important huff and puff!
And while I'm about it...one man's weed is
another's unlawful indulgence. So there!

Tell me about it! leylandii, chinese lanterns, buttercups, aquilegia, dandelions...
I can't get rid of the bloody things.
