Give Your Roses To The Living
by Iris Brooks Give your roses to the living So they will know that you are giving Tell them you love them, no need to wait Who knows - tomorrow - may be too late I had some kind words I always meant to say Now my friend will never hear them For my friend has gone away So many good intentions And things I meant to do To bless someone who was in need But I never followed through I meant to share a happy song Yet I kept it in my heart I could have helped someone along Who was walking in the dark But I said I've got tomorrow There will be another chance To bring joy to one in sorrow To make their life a dance But we're not assured the sunrise Nor if the evening sun will set Give your gifts of love today Or else you may regret Give your roses to the living So they will know that you are giving Tell them you love them, no need to wait Who knows - tomorrow - may be too late If there's someone in your life you care about, someone you love and appreciate, tell them what's in your heart while you still can. I'd rather have one rose, one smile, one hug, one kiss, one thank you, one I love you today than a church full of roses when I'm gone.
