In Memory of my Mother

The following poem is not written by me but, is one that my mother always loved. Mothers are very special people and if your lucky enough to still have yours with you please take the time to say "I LOVE YOU" and stop to give her that hug for you never know when you wont be able too.

One Little Rose

I would rather have one little rose
From a garden of a friend
Then to have the choicest flowers
When my stay on earth must end

I would rather have one pleasant word
In kindness said to me
Then 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
Then tears shed round my casket
When this world I 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.
