A summer rose

has touched our hearts--

her beauty, planted in our souls

forever.

Now we can see;

the fresh, radiant Blossom

illuminates

even in the winter.

We can see

the infinite strength

in the gentleness

that endures the chilling frost;

we can see

the Ordeal

and the Bliss

as her inextinguishable dignity

defies a frozen Earth,

and she blooms again and again--

ever so lovely-- our heroine

Summer Rose.

-- George Krumenacker
