A Dozen Roses
by Alan Pedersen, TCF

If I had a dozen roses I know just what I'd do
I'd give each one a name that reminded me of you

The first rose I'd name sunshine cause you brighten everyday
The second would be beauty the kind that never goes away

The third one would be priceless like those hugs you gave to me
I'd name the fourth rose silly oh how funny you could be

Rose five of course is patience something you have helped me find
The sixth rose I'd call memories the precious gift you left behind

The seventh and the eight rose would for sure be faith and grace
Nine would be unique because no one can take your place

The tenth rose well that's easy I'd simply name it love
Eleven I'd call angel I know you're watching from above

I'd think about that twelfth rose and I'd really take my time
After all these roses are for you my Valentine

I'm sending them to heaven in every color that I know
So number twelve I'll name forever that's how long I'll love you so
