My Lover Gave Me Roses

Here's a poem I wrote as a jazz chant to help my students practice "r" and "l". My lover gave me roses To tell me that he loved me He gave me yellow roses To celebrate my birthday And lovely white roses Whenever I was sad And soft pink roses Whenever I was mad But when I see a red rose I always want to cry Because he gave me red roses On the day he said goodbye.
