A rose bloomed in the garden
I watched it grow
From a sleeping seed
From beneath the winter snow
It rose above the frost
Still hard upon the ground
With leaves of green
And petals all around
Just one day of warmth
Was all it really needed
To bloom to life
From the soil beneath it
But then the very next day
There came a snap of winter
The chill froze the flower
In cold icey fingers
It's colors soon faded
On the ground decayed.
It lay on the ground
Dried up and gray
And I thought to myself
As I looked on the ground
At this onceBeautiful flower
Now shirveled and brown
How quickly its life pass on
From this life to another
But one days living was enough
To let me enjoy its Beauty
