A Misfit's Peculiar Treasure
A misfit, it's said, although kindly meant, 
Our talent, our ways or our face, 
The efforts extended meeting dissent, 
A weed's just a plant out of place. 
 
Although winsome, fragrant, well grown, 
Its purpose is not welcome there. 
With this disfavor, one may be known, 
Yet, filling a deep need somewhere. 
 
Take heart, although our meter be rare, 
There's a place suited just for that beat. 
Our place may be revealed unaware, 
By situation or people we meet. 
 
Remember, herbs don't fit in a lawn, 
And grass in our vegetables banned, 
From the herb helpful remedies drawn, 
So, our unique gifts may be grand. 
 
Finding our cadence, where we do well, 
Our passing finds not a glitch, 
A different account our stories tell; 
when we have discovered our niche.
