I got a dozen roses, from a friend the other day; But I only have 1 left, For I gave them all away. 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 new 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've been a cheerful presence On my very dreary days. The roses were so pretty I just could not keep them all, Except for 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, my very dear friend! Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. they make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their heart to us. 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.
