Send No Roses Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

Send no roses
When I am no more
Don't when the eyes, its beauty not behold
Don't when the nose, the sweet fragrance not scent
Don't when the hands, the soft petals not feel
Don't when the heart, its gratitude not render
Don’t when it a grave adorns and not a room
Don't when the sand the vase becomes

Send roses while I live
While the eyes behold
And the nose scents
While the hands feel and the heart gratifies
Send roses for the vase
Not the grave

i don't know what to say i feel like it's touching some thing in each one of us how we need some to remember us when we r alive not when we gone



Beautiful peace of work

its very true and ironical, throught life we fail to realise the importance of people who are close to us and love us. its only when the are no more with us we realise how important were they in our life and then express our gratiute towards them. whereas, gratiute can still be expressed while they are alive but at that time we fail to realise how important were they in our life.
