Yellow Rose

For my dear friend Amber.

 

 

                                                           

 

Why are you my yellow rose of Texas?

If you asked here's what I'd say...

 

Cause your outer beauty is as natural

as the sun glistening of a rose petal

glowing with classy radiance

for the entire world to see.

May I even say so stunning

that like the northern winds

you take my breath away.

 

Most importantly the beauty of your soul

is like that of a fully bloomed rose

you can't help but be mesmerized

by the blissful nature of it.

Your kindness is the pollen

used to make the world a sweeter place.

 

If only a flower like you

would grow wildly across the land

then I know humanity would win.

 

So if you ever wondered why

I call you my yellow rose

that would be my simple reply.

 

Though there is one difference

between you and a rose…

being beauty like yours is rare.

I must make sure everyone knows the little poem inside the pic isn't mine just something I saw that I thought fit her too and just wanted to put it before my tribute to her.

"If you walk with grace of a rose in the wind, talk with the smoothness of a roses petals, and just look as beautiful as one, you might be a rose, love."(DH)

hehe, thought it might come nicely. It was such a beautiful write it almost made my eyes tear up. Overwhelming almost, but not quite? Sorry if i'm babeling at the moment but nothing I could say would open a window into how much I love this poem!

It was wonderful Dale! You've outdone yourself!

[Brianna Brie]

You are one that builds up with encouragement and with kind words. Absolutely wonderful poem to your yellow rose. Bravo!

[Seriana]

Dale,
Reading this objectively I must say it is quite stunning. Your heartfelt emotions shine through in every line. My favorite line is this:
"If only a flower like you
would grow wildly across the land
then I know humanity would win."

That is such a genuinely nice thing to say towards someone you care about so deeply. And the fact that I know you wrote this just for me causes me to pause, and be humbled by your honest friendship. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. You are truly a kindred spirit. :)

Dale - This piece brings out the softer side of you. Very lovely and a real honor for this "rose" in your life.

[Jenny Davis]

Awwwwwwww! I'm sorry I had to exclaimate it. This is so sweet, Dale. What a lovely tribute to someone you admire and care about :)

[Dezaraye]

What a beautiful, romantic, and loving piece. I love the calm and soothing voice of this piece and the love and adoration that comes through each word.

Very lovely write. It is very witty. I felt lighthearted reading your poem. The one you wrote it for is very lucky to have a friend who is very true to them.

[Larissa G.]

Aw. It was sweet; I liked the lines comparing her to pollen and if only people bloomed like her more often the best. I loved reading this. :)

This is beautiful tribute to a special friend that is comes straight from your heart . . . to hers.

Full of admiration and soul. I'm sure whomever this poem was written for must feel very honored!

hugs,

This is so sweet and endearing. Why aren't there any like you up north here? LOL As always an excellent piece of work.

[Helen Woodward]

This is beautiful Dale, you draw parallels with metaphor intent. I would have to say this is the most emotional write I have seen from you, but I have not read all your work yet. You very obviously have a person in mind who should be stoked by this token of genuine admiration.
Nice to see the absence of leather and chains! (pedal...petal)
Cheers,
Helen :-)
