the poor man’s rose

---

IN the rich man’s

plot where green

grass grows

Rows of roses

are carefully

hoed

But do you

know?

In the poor

man’s grove

there is a

simple rose

that grows

wherever it

goes

it has no

thorns to

harm my thoughts

nor question

my doubts

So this is the

rose I chose

for less is more

in the poor man’s

grove where the

simple rose grows
