<i>I would rather have one little rose <br /> From the garden of a friend, <br />Than to have the choicest flowers <br /> When my stay on earth must end. <br /> <br />I would rather have a pleasant word <br /> In kindness said to me, <br />Than flattery when my heart is still <br />And this life has ceased to be. <br /> <br />I would rather have a loving smile <br /> From friends i know are true, <br />Than tears shed around my casket <br />When this world i bid adieu. <br /> <br />Bring me all the flowers today, <br /> Whether pink, or white, or red; <br />I'd rather have one blossom now <br /> Than a truckload when i'm dead. <br /> <br />~ Author Unknown</i> <br /> <br />For my mom....<br /><br />Michael K...<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/give-me-your-flowers/
