I got a dozen roses,
From a
friend the other day;
But I only have
one left,
For I gave them all
away.
I gave one to my sister,
Who to
me is very dear,
In hopes that it
will bring to her
A little floral
cheer.
I took one to a friend
Who's not
feeling very well;
The flower or the
visit -
Which helped more I could not
tell.
One went to a friend
I have
known for a very long time.
He
struggles, so in some small way
I
hope this helps him carry on.
The rest went to the ones
Who've
helped me in so many ways;
They have
been a cheerful presence
On my very
dreary days.
The roses were so pretty
I just
could not keep them all,
Except one
single bud standing
Beautiful and
tall.
My friend gave me the
flowers
To help brighten up my
day,
But the biggest joy I
received
Was in giving them
away.
This one is for you
Show your friends how much you care...
Send this to everyone you
consider a friend.
If it comes back
to you, then you'll know you have a
friend for life.
