something to ponder

[binny]

"I would rather have one small 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 my life on Earth 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, white or red:
I'd rather have one blossom now
Than a truckload when I'm dead."

'One Small Rose'

Have you given someone a small rose lately?

Happy Tuesday.

Thanks for the thought!! I truly agree on this point of view! Give me your kindness and flowers now!

When I'm dead I won't be able to see them.
