"A Dozen Roses"
"A Dozen
Roses"
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 hope 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 haven't known very long.
She struggles, so in some small way
I hope this helps her carry on.
The rest went to the ones
who've helped me in so many ways.
They have been a cheerful presence
on my 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 giving them away.
