Perennial
“Perennial”
There is a tulip in the snow
Frosted but alive
Never had a place to go
Doomed to never thrive
Through every season it stood tall
No matter what the weather
It managed to get through it all
With the hope of keeping it together
The brutal ice made it strong
So no angry wind could shake it
The suffocating snow made it wise
So no blazing sun could bake it
It hoped and dreamed some one would pick it
To be the one a person loved
It wanted them to delicately take it
And not just blindly shove
It to the side and find another
More deliciously scented
The beauty captured like no other
Its self esteem never again dented
But for now a tulip stands in the snow
Frosted but alive
You can thaw it out you know
With you it can finally thrive
