Buy Me Flowers When I'M Dead

Buy me flowers when I'm dead! "Red Roses will do nicely" I said Pink Carnations with Baby's Breath Will be just perfect, after my death! You can bring flowers now, if you wish But they will only wilt in a vase or dish Say "see you later" with a Water Lily I know what you're thinking: This sounds silly! Memorial services are the right time To bring giant Tulips in their prime! Think how happy the guests will be To "breathe in" the aroma of love for me! Orchids, Lilacs, maybe Cherry Blossom Some Morning Glory's would be just awesome! Plant me as a Jacaranda tree With purple flowers for all to see! Beautiful Daisies and Forget-Me-Nots With Ladybugs crawling in planted pots I couldn't be happier as I continue my mission If my arms are filled as I make my transition. MS 5/12/15
