Thank you for sending me the things
      to make me think, laugh or smile.
      For when I am down
      it makes the hurt go away
      if only for a while.

             That is why friends are so dear,
      just because they love you.
      And you always know they're there
      to lend a listening ear
      and to take away the blues.

              It is also why I thank my God...
      for the friends he sends my way
      For He knows we all need some cheer
      and the support each and every day.

              So to my wonderful friends,
      I send a rose to you.
      Because I know that you all
      are my friends through and true.

              In each of us is a special gift
      for if we love one another
      It can surpass so much pain and fear
      And give help and love to others.

      So take this rose my friend,
      and hold it close to your heart
      And always remember me,
      for we will never be apart.
