poem of the day/ the mid fifties depending

THE LITTLE ROSE, OH HOW SHOULD IT BE LISTED?

The little rose, oh how should it be listed?

Suddenly dark red and young and near?

Oh we never knew that it existed

Then we came, and saw that it was there.

Unexpected till we came and saw it

Unbelievable as soon as seen

Hit the mark, despite not aiming for it:

Isn’t that how things have always been?

B.B.
