little flower girl
her roses betray the bloom
she sells none
she sells none
dejection in her stride
a desert garden
a desert garden
hope isn't a commodity
for the poor
for the poor
the sun refuses to rise
dark clouds prevail
dark clouds prevail
but someday there will be light
roses shall bloom, again
a ray of hope .. and optimistic thought .. very well written, as usual , dear friend !! :)
