A Jessica Rose (In remembrance of Jessica McClanahan who passed away in Spring) What is the beauty of a Jessica Rose; What words can summon the impact of such a strong flower? How can I come close to voicing a true reflection of such a complex being as intricate as the Rose I hope to honor? … Our Rose sprouted blooming, from beginning early on, And never did our Rose wither for all her livelong days, With Roots stretched far, spread far throughout Earth, And Petals like pink presents, wrapped permanent with promise. … Try as I ought, my words hold naught against that Rose’s part, When one could find the Rose tall as the Sun, proud in the Meadow; But Good-Golly, I’m okay - knowing that Rose is grander now, Spread far throughout all Earth and saturating our thoughts. -04-27-09- M.

What is the beauty of a Jessica Rose;
What words can summon the impact of such a strong flower?
How can I come close to voicing a true reflection
of such a complex being as intricate as the Rose I hope to honor?[…]
