A poem: A dozen Roses by Mrs. Tanaka

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.

I took one to a friend

Who's not feeling very well,

The flower or the visit -which helped her 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 dreary day.

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 gving them away.

Hey!

Where's my flower?

Haha!


That's a cute rhyme.
