The Fragrance of Roses


May the fragrance of roses
bless your life today
because you have helped me
in such caring ways.
You've enriched my world
by the friendship we share
and when there's a need
there's always a prayer
and a helping hand
you've offered so often,
so many kind deeds
I've never forgotten,
or a friendly voice
when the phone rings
saying just let me know
if you need anything.
We've walked many miles
and worn out sneakers.
I've learned so much
from a wonderful teacher.
If I could tell you dear friend
what our friendship means
your ears would wear out
from listening to me.
So instead let me send you
the fragrance of roses
to shower you with blessings
only heaven discloses.

Written with love and prayers
of thanksgiving for special friends.
