Kingston<\/strong><\/h3><h4>\u00a0<\/h4><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time seems to fly on by when you are collecting flowers. Some people look at the roadside flowers and think about them like weeds. There are so many with all the different colors. The sunflowers grow naturally wherever they decide. Baby\u2019s breath, the little white flowers people use in their wedding bouquets, smell awful to me, but people surely love them.<\/span><\/h4><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I used to enjoy pulling over on a rocky curb and cut down all the colorful plants to bring home. I enjoyed the scents they brought into every room. I\u2019ve been picking flowers for too long, regretfully.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now I know what is truly beautiful is to leave them be. Just how they are, they shouldn\u2019t be picked. I do still stop and admire them, I smell them and leave them alone. It really brings me peace letting them continue to live on without my disturbance. After a flower is cut down or picked it does not live long. Even in a vase with ice, and sugar water. Flowers can only live 5-8 days before we have to throw them away, but if we leave the flowers alone, we can still enjoy their beauty and they can continue living naturally all season.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I will visit these roadside flowers regularly. Whenever I am having a day. I regret ever killing them just to keep them to myself. I am very grateful to pass by every spring watching them grow. <\/span><\/h4><p><br \/><br \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POEM The Puzzle By Quinn Kingston Life is like a puzzle.
