The Yellow Rose

*     Creator kissed, with a radiance, that comes from deep within
       Perfection caught so effortlessly, in the amber mood of day
       Petal by petal, she opens up, no shyness in her bloom
       A gilded queen, a gift of sun, she takes my breath away
       And though a rose is still a rose by any other name...
       All other roses would simply hide their blooming heads in shame
