Analysis of <3



Powder your nose my dear,
twirl your hair in roses cheer,
wear your gown for the world shone,
your beauty forever blown.

Statues shine the glory,
virtues true from your story,
amidst the fallen leaves stain,
shed around your class in vain.

Walk unto fields swaying,
of the treasure that's playing,
in the heart, forever you,
shines in all that you do.

Sandra, enraptured phased,
caught in your valiant taste,
the world at your pretty feet,
your frozen thirty-three.
