There is hope

A short story :

 

Last week I got home from work and while cutting the front grass , something caught my eye .

Something that i was sure wasn't there when I left for work .

A second glance at my porch and sure enough there was something there .

It was a little wind-whipped plant with Quarter sized yellow flowers wilted and almost dead .

It was in a little clay pot that had a hand painted American Flag on it . ( Other side of the planter  )

There was a Popsicle stick stuck in the dirt with a little paper Sunflower with the words " From the students of Martin Rd. Elementary "

With a little water and some care , my gift is looking much better today .

A ride down the street showed every home in the neighborhood got one !

I sat down and wrote a letter to whomever at the school was responsible for carrying out this act and thanked them .

I'm hoping that letter makes it back to the students so they can see that such a seemingly small act is really much bigger !

Thanks for sharing. If you send another letter, a letter to the editor of your local news paper, they may want to do a human interest story about it.
