Crept upon the pavement
Lonely and bewildered
The beauty of my blossom
Made people sigh with tenderness
I rise with strength and color
Weathered with the heat
I hold my stem up high
Embraced with my shiny leafs
I can resist the worst of life
And absorb the best of earth
Growing in the gutters of the world
Crept upon the pavement
Lonely and bewildered

Very lovely, and this sends such a strong message of 'will'. Standing out from your surroundings can be tough, what strenght this little bud has
I like this poem a lot, you did well with the picture prompt, and I wish you all the best of luck in the contest!
