To leave an online message of condolence please visit www.speersfuneralchapel.com 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 my 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 bid adieu. Blossoms bring to me today, Whether pink or white or red; Id rather have one blossom now, Than a truckload when Im dead?.
