As a new day begins, I think of all for whom I care
Grant oh lord that their day be blest
May love and joy abundant flow
Let them true love feel and your blessings know

Laughter, sorrow, joy and pain
Each when felt I give to them
Laughter comes back, the pain not
They give me joy, make my sorrows gone

Each of them a fragrant rose
A distinct place in my bouquet hold
Their beauty in my life gives repose
Beautiful friendship in my hands I hold

With these beautiful roses I feel blest
Their colour to my life gives new zest
My friends beauty I see in you
I pray that god above bless you
