One little Rose

poem by: Tony Anderson
Written on Jul 26, 2016

One little rose
One little life
Planted in the ground
With toil and strife
Choked by the dirt and the dust
It needs to survive
It has to
It must

One little rose
My life be like thee
Nice and pretty for all to see
May the dust come
May the dirt of the Earth
Help me be strong
So I may survive my whole life long

One little rose
I see
Though you are small
You remind me of me

Bravery and survival is underrated. I liked this penning very much. A lovely rose stands tall despite adversity. Great poem!
