The day had been hot,

The sun beat down

I gave it all I got

Digging the hard ground.

 

Sweat dropped from my face

The weeds were everywhere.

In the once beautiful place

Flowers no longer bloomed there.

 

The season was drawing to a close,

Summer was fading fast

Few could even give a single pose

And knew they couldn’t last.

 

But there to the side

Out of the way

The little rose, so white,

Decided to bloom today.
