A noble soul

In my garden this morning I realize
The universe has many a noble soul
You need look no further for proof 
Than to my humble shrub of rose

She had great fortitude to bear 
In silence the harsh winter months
Come spring, the only food she gets
Are vegetable rinds and rotten humus

But she bears no ill will toward me 
No matter what things at her I throw
She greets me with a smile this morning
Holding in her hand a beautiful rose!
