Roses in the Rain

   If we were to define the voice of
   poets,
   we would call it courage ...
   that impelling force that enables us
   to take our first steps;

   to look beyond horizons; to see roses
   in the rain and to carry their perfume
   to the end of our journey.


--Dorothea Leona Dubler, retired Florida art teacher
