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
appreciation I have for you.

The sixth rose is the patience
in your heart for me.

The seventh rose holds the
caring I give so full and free.

The eighth 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 life.

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.
