Outcast of the Winter wind <br />A Rose fights for life and lingers on <br />But a bitter chill-has cast it's fill <br />And most of the gardens Roses are gone; <br />But there 'tis one that remains <br />With a spirit-fighting to the very end <br />A Rose amongst the snows of time <br />Embraces the warm of love you send; <br />So, if you should find yourself missing me <br />Just look out at the Garden Of Stone <br />And in the chill of a Winters unforgiving fill <br />A single Rose stands all alone; <br />That would be me-waiting still <br />For the spirit of your warm aura e'er true <br />Fighting this iced chill-but with a mighty will <br />This single Rose 'tis waiting for you;<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/winter-rose-6/
