LIKE ROSES IN A GARDEN
KINDNESS FILLS THE AIR
WITH A CERTAIN BIT OF SWEETNESS
AS IT TOUCHES EVERYWHERE.
FOR THE KINDNESS IS A CIRCLE
THAT NEVER, EVER ENDS
BUT JUST KEEPS EVER-WIDENING
IN THE CIRCLE OF OUR FRIENDS.
FOR HAPPINESS IS ONLY FOUND
IN BRINGING IT TO OTHERS.
AND THINKING OF THE FOLKS NEXT DOOR
AS SISTERS AND BROTHERS,
FOR THE MORE YOU GIVE, THE MORE YOU GET
IS PROVEN EVERYDAY
AND SO TO GET THE MOST FROM LIFE
YOU MUST GIVE YOURSELF AWAY,
AND IF THIS GREEDY WORLD
TODAY WOULD START TO GIVE
LIFE EVERYWHERE FOR EVERYONE
WOULD BE MORE SWEET TO LOVE
IF A ROSE SHOULD GROW IN HEAVEN, LORD
PLEASE PICK A BUNCH FOR US,
PLACE THEM IN MY FRIENDS ARMS
AND TELL HIM THEY'RE FROM US.
TELL HIM WE LOVE AND MISS HIM, LORD
AND WHEN HE TURNS TO SMILE,
PLACE A KISS UPON HIS CHEEK
AND HOLD HIM FOR A WHILE.
BECAUSE REMEMBERING HIM IS EASY
WE DO IT EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY
BUT THERE ARE ACHES IN OUR HEARTS
THAT WILL NEVER GO AWAY.
