The winter's rose

The winter's rose

A Poem by Pretty_as_a_Poet
"

I finally found the perfect title!!

"
Blossoms budding in the spring, It fills all with delight,

And summer roses, blooming proud, they really are a sight,

So delicate, and beautiful, there perfect through and through,

Just sitting there, for those to pick, bringing joy to all who do

Autumn falls, the winter calls, the flowers shrink away

And yet us golden Dandelions live another day

Hello I am the winter’s rose; though you don’t know I’m there

But I’m perfect as the summer blooms if given proper care,

I’m Strong enough to bear the winter, the other flower’s fall

And I have found, I last all year, so I have seen it all,

But still It puzzles me why all the people think us shrill,

When they see us golden Dandelions blooming on a hill,

I don’t see what’s so wrong with us, flowers have no need,

And yet the people hate me so, because I am a weed.

I like the rhyming (again) and I like the way you've described the way dandelions can survive through winter. I like
'I don't see what's so wrong with us, flowers have no need,
And yet the people hate me so, because I am a weed.'
Those lines sort of stood out the most and made the poem what it is.

A little question:
On the third line,
'So delicate, and beautiful, there perfect through and through'
Is it meant to be 'there' or 'they're'? because 'they're' would make more scene (to me), but of course, this is your poem and you might have meant 'there', and I have just misunderstood it.
