The Rose That Did Not Wither

Did u hear bout the flower that lived without no water or sunlight
It was a rose
A white rose
So striking
So beautiful
So wonderful
It had minimal space to grow
So much facts to know
It was not cared for,neglected
And still it did not wither

It had hurtful animals and weather close by
But they all seemed to pass by
This rose was lonely and looked sad
Deprived of love and sympathy
It was strong however
It was courageous
It was not cared for,neglected
And still it did not wither

It found a way
To live each day by each day
When someone passed by the rose they
trampeled,stampeded,shawned
It was not cared for 
And still it did not wither
