Homage to the Yellow Rose

She was a rose.
A rose with the color that brought the nation into one.
A rose with the thorns that removed the iron-fist rule.
A rose with the petals that paved the way to democracy.
A rose with the light that gave hope to her people.
A rose that inspired and empowered women across the globe.
A rose with the strength that proved her enemy "just a woman" can lead a nation better.
She was just a rose - but a strong, respected, beloved, yellow rose named "Cory".
She will be remembered as an unforgettable hero to us all.
