On The Bradford Pear

Bradford Pear trees are blossoming in the world.
They’re beautiful.
But they stink.
Boy do they stink.
And I find this fact sad: that
Flowers so beautiful can smell so bad.
But I guess this is true about a lot of things:
So many things look appealing but,
Through and through,
They are not.

I hope, and
I pray, that
I will not be limited or deceived by outward beauty but
See and embrace people and things as they really are…
Even if they stink.
