FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING // Thomas Green
It has been so long
My heart is aching
And I am not alone.
This special day we send you
Off to the unknown.
So many flowers do they meet you
Loved ones and friends do greet you
Here solemnly beseeching you
Stay with us a little more.
Flowers for the living
Flowers for the dead
Not to be this time around
Goodbye my fairest friend.
Laying here with you before us all
In your finest clothes
Rosary beads held to your chest
As if asleep to all.
You leave us here forevermore
With fond memories of your life.
Your kindnesses a spirit so
Fresh upon the mind.
Flowers for the living
Flowers for the dead
Flowers to send you off my friend
Our thoughts are with your family
this day of wailing dread.
Flowers for the living
Flowers for the dead
The petals oh so lovely
Some colors and chaste
Some flowers they are red as blood
Purple as they may.
Life goes on as it must do
We will go about our way
But you my friend are always there
In memory each and every day.
