Little White Flowers In My Backyard on October 1st
They’re probably weeds—
most of my backyard is made up of weeds—
but they’re lovely nonetheless.
It’s St. Therese of Lisieux’s feast day
and I’m having a bad brain day
and I can’t help but feel that the flowers
are a gift from her,
a sign that it’s okay to grow
even if you are unwanted.
Beautiful, even.
