Lucilla Carrillo Poet Free verse

Yellow Rose

Yellow Rose

In Texas she was born and her parents
named her Rose. She loved to dress in
yellow. She wanted to look good for
her fellow.

A yellow rose she always wore on her
hair. Everywhere she would go, people
would say - here comes Yellow Rose.
She lived up to her name.

She was beautiful, she was young and
in Texas she was born. A beautiful flower
in Texas, by the name of Yellow Rose...

Written By Lucilla M. Carrillo.

Note: For the ones that don't
know. The Yellow Rose is the
flower of our state.

Audrey Haick February 20, 2013 at 1:18 PM A nice dedication to your great state of Texas, Lucilla! There is a song, "The Yellow Rose of Texas", is it the state's anthem? It's an old song, anyway. Always, Annalise Lucilla Carrillo February 20, 2013 at 1:24 PM It is the Stat's song.
