I got a dozen roses
From a friend the other day
But I only have 1 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 haven't known for 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 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 :)
