Array ( [sid] => 146381 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Perfect Rose [time] => 2008-11-18 13:43:12 [hometext] => I dedicate this poem to the love of my life, mo anam cara (soul-mate) Michelle [bodytext] => The Almighty had finished creation
And heard an archangel say
"What is it, Lord, that You are doing?
What is it You're doing today?"

God said "I've created the flowers
Of every fragrance and hue
But I feel that something is missing,
So here's what I'm going to do…"

"A perfect rose is in order,
More lovely than ever was seen
But once this fair rose has been fashioned,
I shall never make one again

Her roots will be strong, so to anchor
Through gales and tempests and storms
She will bloom in the day and the night time
She will bloom be it cold, be it warm

Her fragrance shall be more than pleasing,
Her thorn bittersweet but to one
But her blossom shall move him to passion
In his heart, she will shine like the sun!"

"What name do you give to this flower?
This perfect rose, Lord, to me tell?"
"Since no other name could be worthy,
Archangel, it MUST be…… Michelle..."

This is a beautiful dedication! I am not sure if you are speaking of our (YPDC) Michelle (Shelby) or someone you know off of this site. Whatever the case may be I am sure she is worthy of such words. Certainly our Michelle is. I loved the concept here and everything fell perfectly into place. The perfect rose is an awful lot to live up to but you certainly have seemed to find a gorgeous and rare flower. Hold on tightly dear poet. Even if the thorns do ocassionally prick and draw blood. It is the beauty, the essence of such a majesty that is worth the pricks!

BRAVO!
