The Friendship Rose

The friendship rose so precious and rare

I send my friends so you will know I care

A friendship rose I nurtured in love

With a sprinkling of grace from God above.



We have given ourselves time to adjust

Our friendship is grounded solid in trust

Sitting for hours in the shade of a tree

Sharing books of poetry in a cool breeze.



My friendship rose is a gift real and sincere

I pray it will bring happiness and good cheer

May my gift of friendship become a part

And find a place to grow within your heart.



This friendship rose I now extend

Bringing love and happiness without end

Making your tomorrow a brighter day, I pray

And never look back, we are not going that way.
