When she plucked a flower, the<br \/>\ngolden leaves cut her hands and stained<br \/>\nit red with blood. The young woman ran<br \/>\nfrom the forest, and though her hands still bled<br \/>\nwhen she arrived home, her mother only said,<br \/>\n&#8220;What a pretty red flower in your hair.&#8221; The<br \/>\nflower never fell or faded,<br \/>\nand few noticed that<br \/>\nher fingernails were<br \/>\ngolden and her<br \/>\ntears glittered<br \/>\nlike gems.<\/p>\n<p>X<\/p>\n<p>Love\n      <\/td>\n<td style=\"white-space: nowrap; vertical-align: top;\">\n      Sweet Jhayne,<\/p>\n<p>Once upon a yesterday, when the stars<br \/>\nstill sang and the sea still listened, the<br \/>\nman in the moon came down to visit to you in<br \/>\na dream.
