One Little Rose: Laminated Holy Card

One Little Rose: Laminated Holy Card

I would rather have one little rose from the garden of a friend Than to have the choicest flowers when my stay on earth must end.

I would rather have one pleasant word in kindness said to me Than flattery when my heart is still and life has ceased to be.

I would rather have a loving smile from friends I know are true Than tears shed round my casket when this world I've bid adieu.

Bring me all your flowers today, whether pink, or white, or red; I'd rather have one blossom now, Then a truckload when I'm dead.
