A rose
- red petals
- green stem
- green leaves
Was thrown over
My wall
With it a voice
"A rose for peace," he said
I sat
and cried

Another rose
- yellow petals
- yellow thorns
- green stem and leaves
Was thrown, again, over
My Wall
With it, another voice
"A rose for love," she said
I sat, again,
and cried

A third rose
- pink petals
- green stem and leaves
- no thorns
Fell at my feet
From the other side of
My Wall
And a third voice
"A rose for hope," the person said
And I sat
but did not cry

I got up after a while
-- Took down My Wall
And walked into
The World
- happy
