These flowers you brought me

I keep them to share

With each special friendship

In life that's so rare

Such beauty you've given

In each day we spend

This earth is so bountiful

With love that you send

We gather together

In fields we have made

With flowers of beauty

That always cascade

For life is so special

With all that you do

No moment forgotten

With treasures from you

Our time never ending

Our hearts always near

No matter the distance

We gather love here

So pick every flower

We'll share every day

For you are the beauty

That forms life's bouquet

Such delicate blossoms

That make up the glow

Of gentle sweet memories

That forever will flow

And time shall be with us

Through every new day

For we've picked the flowers

Of friendship's bouquet.
