Wild Rose

Wild, the rose that caught my eye
While on a hike, so I passed not by
But stopped and drew yet closer still,
Among the rocks, aside the hill.

I studied its fragile, spindly frame,
With leaves so pale, in need of rain.
It seemed unworthy for, I suppose,
A beautiful blossomed, pink-petal rose.
