You are like forget-me-nots, <br />Since roses can't be blue, <br />And roses neither White nor Red, <br />Can make me think of you, <br /> <br />For they are common, not unique, <br />We see them every day, <br />With all your rare, amazing traits, <br />No, common's not your way, <br /> <br />You are like the stars at night, <br />That shine amidst the black, <br />You are like the ocean's waves, <br />Calm, but not holding back, <br /> <br />You are like the Sun's sweet light, <br />Not credited enough, <br />You are like a wall of stone, <br />And hatred you rebuff, <br /> <br />You are like the medow green, <br />Serenity and bliss, <br />You are like the telling gaze, <br />When words are meaningless, <br /> <br />You are like the Angel's wings, <br />Enchanting, pure as snow, <br />You are like a Pioneer <br />Where others dare not go, <br /> <br />You are like a paradox, <br />A mystery to all, <br />You are like a safety net, <br />To catch all those who fall, <br /> <br />Like White on black you've always been, <br />This much is ever true, <br />That you are like forget-me-nots, <br />Since roses can't be blue. <br /> <br />(2,1,08)<br /><br />M.
