It takes a lot of happy thoughts (so to say) to do that….and i think.the one thing i learned from.my mother which is really helping a lot is she used to say “if you have nothing good to say (even to someone your mad at) don’t say anything”..
I have a bit of anger
But I hide behind a flower
I’m a slave to my convictions
But I’m good with will power
Cant sing my song in public
So I do it in the shower
When asked for an opinion
I’m ashamed
And I cower
But the world is getting scarier
We’re experiencing a curse
I’m frightened of the future
‘Cause things are getting worse
I don’t speak what I am thinking
I express myself in verse
Is it time for euthanasia?
Will someone call the nurse?
Excellent quote and photo combo, Kate. 🙂
They make me think about the fact that anger rarely helps and so often destroys. 😦 Especially when anger is directed toward people…their hearts can be as fragile, beautiful, and delicate as those flower petals.
(((HUGS)))

I have taken photos of the similar flowers and sometimes they’re just slightly different, but I can tell the difference and have my preference. 🙂
