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. Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java.
 
 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 Bud's for U !
