Tale of Theodosia Thistle FFF Fiction

I sat staring at this Thistle on Time Stand Still post by Rose.

It came to mind, what a face this could be,

I could add two eyes and a mouth to see who I would see.

I said in my comment, 

it needs two eyes and a nose and lips,

it might even need a script.

Minutes later, came and email from Rose

two attachments arose.

Play with these or you can delete,

I replied Thank you, I will make something neat.

 

I added two eyes, 

and lips the right size.

I named her Theodosia Thistle

and whispered to her, Thistle be your best day ever, all the male thistles will at you whistle.

My mad mind madded, 

I added and added.

Up popped the devil, that seemed painful,

I then added an angel.

The Devil and the Angel started to speak,

They gave us much info, I say take a peek.

Devil said: Theodosia, you are sharp and prickly, ugly and dry.

Angel said:  Listen, Theodosia you are perfect and have a purpose, there is something wrong with his eye.

Devil said:  "you are just a weed"

Angel replied:  "you are here to fill a need"

Devil shouted: Everyone hates you, you spread through your seed.

Angel said softly: Your seed fulfill their  purpose, the birds and bees you do feed.

Your flowers provide humans food,

and this is good.

If humans are careful, your stalk provides water, if your lost you can find a drink.

This is your purpose I think.

the milk from your stalk, treats arthritis and tendons and joints

and this is for sure the whole point.

You are needed

And must not be weeded.
