Buying the bouquet
Splitting amongst 3 women
Headed towards celebration
Dinner, drinks, laughter
International Women's Day

With 4 roses walking in the cold
With 4 roses head held high
With 4 roses smiling at passers by
With 4 roses and a song within the heart

Once a year, on March 8th
Women around the world
Regardless of age
Celebrate their womanhood

With roses, tulips, carnations
Whatever flowers touch their hearts
Originally a European holiday primarily
Is now understood and loved globally

With 4 roses and babies breath
With 4 roses the scent reaching inward
With 4 roses they can't guess why
With 4 roses and 8 more, pictures taken

Even schoolgirls would get flowers
On this special day
Though they were only little women
Something so small and special
Yet big, grand, and inclusive

With 4 roses secrets are kept
With 4 roses memories are born
With 4 roses another celebration past
With 4 roses faith restored
