For all the love I hold for flowers,

The least we see in their lovliness,
Is at the funeral of our loved ones;

Who so gladly fill orders for
rich or poorest,
But they're left on the good earth
we call a grave,
Which claims the body of a Soul,
God has choosen to take;
But if I can have my way;
I have just this much to say,
When I am deatt and put away,
I want to go so like I came,
Give me one dozen red roses
I know will mean the same.
But the flowers if you must,
but please.
Send them to someone who can see,
Except one dozen red roses
To take away ,or replace
all the coldness.
The reason I can write this poem is
Because I see so much wasted
on a FUNERAL,
It takes so long for loved ones
to pay,
You hardly know what to say.
To a rich man, poor man,
beggar or a thief,
A dead body is no more than
a pile of reef,
So even for the love of flowers,
Tis useless to wait 'til they're
stilled in death.
To show our loved one's our
level best.
So, please give me my flowers
while I'm alive.
And, feed the hungry with
all the money wasted on me
