- 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.
- has touched our hearts--
- -- George Krumenacker
- For Deidre Hannafin (1961-1994)
