flower among the weeds

I don't know why some get looked down upon just for being different
I don't know why some get looked up to just for being the same as them
I don't know why some have a hard time dealing with changes

Everything in God's creation has a purpose in life that can't be seen
Everything that God makes has a beauty that can't be seen by eyes
Even a flower among the weeds is loved by the Son who died

I don't know why some get bullied or picked on just for being different
I don't know why some get judged based upon looks on the outside
I don't know how some can see with logs in their eyes

If only we could know the thoughts of our amazing creator
If only we could see through the eyes of our awesome God
If only we could look through the heart instead of the eyes

Everything in God's creation has a flower among the weeds
There's good in everyone, everything that God has made
Even if we can't see the flower among the weeds, God can

You hit the nail squarely on the head.

It is so difficult to fit in if one is different, being judged and rejected is not a very good thing to go through. And why - because one thinks and act differently than others - and who is actually right, the ones condemning or the one's being condemned?

Everyone is an individual and to be accepted one must be like others wants them to be - this is so unfair! God made us the way we are and we must accept each other the way God created us.

I think this is a very great poem.

Blessings!

thanks, ann i got the idea one day when mowing, and how like danilions get judged for being a weed when theres a flower on top, or another example is, a flower amoung the weeds that gets destroyed cause of being next to the weeds. and i thought that fit with hanging around with the wrong crowds or something like that. and even though we sometimes chose wrong to fit in, doesnt mean God loves us anyless.
