A Dozen Roses
___________________________________________________
The first rose holds the joy
that's in my heart today.
The second is the feelings I feel
in every way.
The third rose is the sunshine around me
when you're near.
The fourth holds the shedding of every joyful tear.
The fifth rose is the patience
in your heart for me at times.
The sixth makes up for waiting for
the words you love in rhyme.
The seventh rose holds the caring I give so full and free.
The eighth it holds the loving you give so much to me.
The ninth rose is to forgive me
when I'm harsh or wrong.
The tenth is to thank you for choosing me
through your whole life long.
The eleventh rose is to say I love you
each and every way.
The twelfth is to carry these feelings
from day to day to day.

A dozen roses . . .
and a dozen reasons shared of
love,life and friendship
with someone who has always cared.
