A dozen roses are not enough
                                                   to say I love you
                                                   but a rose is like our love
                                                   - so real and fine
                                                   that I thought
                                                   that I would send you twelve together
                                                   to let you know
                                                   that you've been on my mind
 

                                       I don't know if roses grow
                                                           because we need them in the winter
                                                           to remind us of the spring.
                                                           or if roses -- like a friend --
                                                           simply remind us of growing-up
                                                           and going on to do great things.
                                                           and if a rose were ever chosen for its power,
                                                           without a friend to give it to,
 
                                           Just one rose,
                                               it starts out small, a flower or a sign.
                                               with rain and love it comes to know the sun
                                               and grows in time. just one rose,
                                               it grows to know the heart as its own sign.
                                               that's why you'll find on valentine's day.....
                                               it's the rose that comes to mind.
                                               hugs and kisses
