A blue rose quite rare <br />upon a thorny stem <br />of graceful bearing <br />holding up on high <br />with a freshness <br />as to a new born sky <br />such scents as made in heaven <br />to revive a weary soul <br />and remind her <br />of the blossoms <br />that in her heart reside <br />and cannot fade or die.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blue-rose-for-marci/
