Inside a crack, a rose has grown
here in the sidewalk! All alone,
it poses with its pretty face
in this most unusual place,
its origin to me unknown.
How was this flower ever sown?
Was there a seedling that got blown
somehow into this tiny space
inside a crack?
This one strong rose which on its own
took root as if it sprang from stone
reminds me how in life’s quick pace
can still be found small signs of grace
where courage sprouts – as I’ve been shown -
inside a crack!
