I would rather have a LITTLE
ROSE
from the garden of a friend
Than flowers strewn around
my casket
When my days on earth must
end.
I would rather have a LIVING
SMILE
From one I know is true
Than tears shed around
my casket
When this world I bid adieu
Bring me all the flowers
TODAY
Whether pink, or white,
or red,
I would rather have ONE
BLOSSOM NOW
Than a truckload when I
am dead!!

sits on a rock
Listen to the words
of a child
I got flowers today
Love me now
Why is mommy crying
