From "Psalm of Life"

Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

From Psalm of Life by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I found this sweet little hollyhock growing alongside a busy street, about 9" tall but growing with all it's heart. So it isn't tall like the other hollyhocks but that's not stopping it from fulfilling it's life ambition.

Tammy@T's Daily Treasures said...: Wonder if it just happened to grow there by accident or if someone planted it for a reason? Like my moss roses, some plants will grow and some will bloom no matter the circumstances ... we should certainly do the same. Best wishes and blessings, Tammy; August 1, 2011 at 2:00 AM
