""The Lassie Who Can Blush"

Hey guys! This is Rachel! I was in a mood to write a poem today, and this one fell together very quickly, so I thought I'd put it on here and see what you all thought of it! This poem is written from a wise young man's point of view! :)

"The Lassie Who Can Blush"

By Rachel H.

I would give many a dollar,

I would give a golden thrush,

If you showed me really, truly,

A young lass who still can blush.

There are many "happy" women

Who have laid their values bare,

Who parade in shameful clothing

That low men might think them fair.

But the kind of girl I notice,

Isn't one who's in a rush,

Not a girl who's bold and brassy,

But a lassie who can blush.

A blush is colored innocence,

The rose of modesty,

The proof of wholesome maidenhood

Through endless history.

And oft I smile to myself

As I catch a tell-tale flush,

"There's still a precious group of them-

Those lassies who can blush!"

I would give many a dollar,

I would give a golden thrush,

Just to see old-fashioned sweetness

Of a lass who still can blush.
