Weeds or Flowers

She called them weeds

when they grew uninvited.

She called them flowers

when she planted them in her garden.

Hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies

made no such distinction.

Thank you so much! Our neighbor loves our flowers until the wind blows the seeds into her garden. Then, they're weeds.
