One Little Rose 
 
 
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 the 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
 Than a truckload when I'm dead
