We are in the Progressive's fold, Where Freedom has become __; What we once could say before, Today, we dare not ;

One Yellow Rose! By L. Don Oliver

While trimming the abundant weeds, Before the event of Summer kind; A very lovely Yellow Rose, While weeding, I did find;

Where did it come from, Mine not to reason why; It was such a beautiful rose, Enough to make this one sigh;

Not wishing to cut it down, I trimmed around it's base; I espied an industrious Honeybee, Exiting it's lovely face;

The little Honeybee returned, I let the Yellow Rose lie; It's beauty to never be seen, If I had caused it to die;

Glad to see you back.
