The poppy is a picture of human potential. It is a delicate and beautiful flower that freely grows wild in our countryside. Yet it is also a symbol of World War I and the fear, destruction and death that came with war. An object of beauty and potential, a poppy can give remedies and relief for the chronic pain associated with diseases like arthritis. Yet when abused fuels the heroine drug trade which plagues parts of our society.
Like the poppy, each baby born is beautiful and full of potential. Their life may be full of challenge depending on the lessons they have set themselves to learn. Through free will each person chooses how they respond to challenges and how they wish to live their life. Our choices define whether we meet the potential of the baby.
Choose to be the healing poppy and not the war poppy.
