One Little Rose
I would rather have one little rose from the garden of a friend
Than to have expensive flowers when my stay on earth must end.
I'd rather have one pleasant word in kindness said to me
Than flattery when my heart is still and life has ceased to be.
I'd rather have a loving smile from friends I know are true
Than tears shed round my casket
When this world I've bid adieu.
