Love is Like a Rose
An African-American art print featuring artwork by Melinda Byers and poetry by Shahidah. This print contains an image of an African-American woman standing in front of a fireplace and holding a rose and thinking about her lover. The poetry reads as follows:
Your love is like a rose
with petals soft and pure…
It smells just like the breath of spring,
just like the morning dew.
…and for each growing petal
that holds the rose in place,
I hope our love will grow as strong
and always be safe.
