Lee I once held a rose as a weed clustered with little promise of blooming Hidden somewhere within was a flower that I had longed to behold Each day I came and went as best I could .... then not at all When by chance I sought the comfort of weeds, there knelt a gardener Beholding the flower I could not see.
