Volunteers
Cheery sight these are to see
though not planted by me.
Popping heads through soil
not by my toil.
Reaching for sun
the volunteers come.
Taking up space
in the wrong place.
But I haven’t the heart
to tear them apart.
Yank from their warm bed
despite what gardeners have said.
So they stubbornly stay
to grow another day.
Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Took me a minute there to figure out what KIND of volunteers you were talking about! LOL We have volunteer fern all through our grass and NO idea whatsoever where they came from. Ever heard of that?

Actually, no, I never heard of that. Do you live in the Pacific Northwest–if you don’t mind my asking? I always think of that area as having a lot of ferns.
