I take a walk everynight to relieve my daily stress
passing by house to house not thinking what comes next
I came across this bush of sorts hidden beneath the vine
I thought how could this be, to cover something so fine
a sprout of color shining through the brown and green of leaves
I peeked right in, and pulled apart, what I found you wouldn't beleive
a fantasy of color there were yellows, pinks and reds
I couldn't understand how they could survive amongst the dregs
but they did bloom, and flourished behind the vine's right there
Its as if they tried to tell me Love can bloom out any where
so I chose the brightest one the reddest I could find
and picked it carefully and pulled it from the vines
I brought the Rose home with me and put it in a vase
to remind me of my walk that day the very best it ever was
