Take this rose from my garden
With you I so wish to share
A token of friendship
For you I so much care.

Petals unfolding in beauty
As our friendship has done
Sweetest memories like petals
Unfolding one by one.

Ever so beautiful rose I give you
Its beauty does not compare
It pales beside the beauty
Of your heart you share.

Always there beside me
Offering a helping hand
As troubled times are upon me
You give me courage to stand.

Comforted by your kindness
Always you've shown to me
Friendship endlessly growing
And hearts beat in harmony.

What ever life may hold
For us both my friend so dear
As you have been for me
For you, I am always here.
