The Yellow Rose

(for K. McCracken)

Ten roses rest in two pale hands,
and two pale hands surround the stems.
The stems will stretch to beautiful end,
with scented petals in golden tint.

The golden tint reflects the light
From lovely face and gentle heart;
Both elements of which I'm proud
To call you "friend"; a yellow rose
