On a grassless rocky hill

Sans a cataract or a rill

Sprouted a flowery plant,

Giving me my life’s thrill

I saw its will in abundance

Its courage and grit was immense

It stood, surpassing  all

Other blooms in sheer elegance

It was a surprise disclosure

Nature’s rare, amazing treasure

Beauty in uncommon environs

Radiating classic grandeur
