Analysis of A lady to love
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Pink is like a flower in a wilderness that few touch
worn on the hand like a queen it is
Looked upon by wisened angelic accepting iris that never do wrong
Felt by every beating pulse of the heart
As softly and strong as silk on beds of thorn winds
Yet does not fall until ready to seed
