Rose In the Snow

A Rose in The Snow.
.
Deep within a forest blanketed by snow
A place yet unknown
And no one ventures or goes
Grows and clings on to life
The once most beautiful fragrant delicate rose
So sweet its heart
But fragile its petals and folds
Stretches to the sun
Stung by a bee
Overshadowed by towering  thickets of trees
.
 Without love or tender care
The rose never fully flourished
Bedraggled pitifully 
Neglected and undernourished
.
Gradually it withers away
Its petals fall to the snow
And a gust blows it astray
Never to see
Another day
.
What makes this rose so precious and special
Is because it is rare
And with so much love 
And affection to share
The last rose to ever grow.
Now nothing
Buried in snow.
.
