Excerpt from Growth: Personal Poems by Anne Stewart :
Though we might think her a weed,
she is immortal, thanks to seed.
floating ‘cross the grass and brook,
it gives the pristine lawn a look that forces us to see
how diverse our world can be.
The fresh green grass, the azure sky,
frothy yellow blooms ask why

we feel we must malign

And if a Rose will smell as sweet
by any other name

why not give this spot of sun
her special share of fame?
