| A Stem of seven roses Each, unrivaled beauty held Independent stance it poses Character unparalleled Peach the first to open A guiding light upon the rest Not without her share of coping Endurance from her trials impressed Purple deep and standing free Down to earth, supporting all Defender rose if there be one against impending threat stands tall Pink, of kind and generous face Strives to keep tranquility Enjoys her sisters' close embrace And individuality Orange, born with willed resolve Inflexible in firm pursuits Through stormy season did evolve Remaining steadfast to her roots Yellow keeps a watchful eye Dauntless in capricious role Resolutely standing by On tireless patrol Burgundy, a bud evolved Still working upward to the sun Maturity her lot resolved Of roses, just a tender one Blue still young and innocent Petals shimmering in the dew Within the sheltered shade content Strength and promise shining through A stem of seven roses A shared, unrivaled beauty held Solid in its stead imposes Wonder beautifully unveiled. |

| A Note about the poem: This poem was inspired by a tatoo that my daughter has on her leg. She has a different colored rose for herself and each of her sisters. |
