Winter's Rose

A floral delight
has survived autumns plight
plunged into winter
this rose has might

a decadence array
glimpsed by the moons rays
the thorned friend shall never end
around it's bloom children shall play

the end of yet another season
gives us thought and reason
to ponder the how and why
the plan at mind the overall lesson

that brought forth this flower
in all its glory and power
to end all rivals quest for the same
minute by minute hour by hour

I have a few rose bud blooming in my yard and a few carnations, bright color spases on these cloudy winter days.
