A DOZEN RED ROSES
I GOT A DOZEN RED 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.
