Poem of the Week # 1 *Imagine that*

In the concrete and steel, who would have thought,
A rose would spring forth, such value, such worth.
Cast out, but not forgotten,
Root were formed though the soil was rotten
A rose would spring forth
Such value, such worth
Rampant mistrust and dreams deferred
Still hope was alive and love nurtured
The rose sprang forth, radiant and alive
A few thrones here and there, but it was destined to survive
A rose sprang forth in the concrete and steel
Value and worth and beauty surreal
