Winter Rose
Beneath my mantle of pure white snow
I lay, a perfect rose
My cloak of snow protects my beauty,
My life and my essence
As winter rages above me,
I am safe and warm, from my cloak of snow
I am preserved
I will emerge into the sunlight
Through the melting snow
I will emerge into the warm moist dew
The warm sunlight dries my petals
My petals are perfect
My color is brilliant
My stem is taught and straight
My essence long and lingering
I am a beauty of nature
I am a symbol of love, beauty and caring
I am the Winter Rose
