Smell the roses while you can still enjoy them

Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete,

Me neither, the whole concept seems absurd and beyond me,

You mean to tell me that it flourished regardless of its subpar conditions,

In an environment that was already broken down and diminished,

Using the little that it had to make the greatest in difference,

And managed to still shine a light on all those in its presence,

I have never heard of such a thing, but to believe is to see,

Blind to my own influence I failed to realize that the rose

Could be me….
