The Circle of Flowers

V1
Wildflowers from the boy next door
A purple orchid for her first dance
A single red rose at Valentines
At graduation - a dozen from her aunt
Tulips when she doesn't get that promotion
Twelve red roses when he proposes
Pink bouquets on her wedding day
Gardenias when her first home closes
Chorus:
The circle of flowers
winds like a grapevine
Thru sickness and health
The good and the bad times
The circle of flowers
God's gift to the world
Of every woman and begins
when she is just a girl
V2
Twelve roses mark their first year
Twenty-four when her twins are born
White carnations on Mother's Day
Lilies at the alter on Easter morn
Pansies with a smile when she's feeling down
A dozen roses when she's diagnosed
Twenty four more at the loss of her hair
Daisies on her tray beside her toast
Chorus:
The circle of flowers
winds like a grapevine
Thru sickness and health
The good and the bad times
The circle of flowers
God's gift to the world
Of every woman and begins
when she is just a girl
Bridge:
Sprays of flowers by her grave
Wildflowers from her mom
at Heaven's gate
Chorus:
The circle of flowers
winds like a grapevine
Thru sickness and health
The good and the bad times
The circle of flowers
God's gift to the world
Of every woman and begins
when she is just a girl
