A flower, a word, a loving smile

[Printablecopy]

I would rather have one little flower from the garden of a friend,
Than to have the choicest blooms when my stay on earth must end.
I would rather one pleasant word in kindness said to me,
Than flattery when my heart is still and life has ceased to be
I would have a loving smile from friends I know are true,
Than tears shed around my casket when this world I bid adieu
