Beauty???

In my garden grows a weed

Lanky tall and long
Standing proud amongst the blooms
As if he did belong

And does he not belong there most

In this world is there no place
For a weed to feel secure
Tho he has no pretty face

I can't stand to yank him up

He has a beauty all his own
Reaching up to loving sun
Wonderful qualities all his own

So I let him tower over

All my little flowers here
An ugly king with his bright court
They gathered round him near
