Rose In the Snow

And I just want you to know
You're like a rose blooming in the snow.
For even with a change of weather,
This flower stays so strong together.

I just want to hold that rose
And smell the sweetness as it grows.
Though its thorns may pierce my skin,
The fragrance lingers here within.
