Gift People Their Roses

"Every struggle in my life has been a lesson and made me stronger."
                            Quote by _Constance La France


Gift people their roses

Gift people their roses while still around,
unspoken words continue to benight,
do not wait until they are graveyard bound.

Let your heart and lips master that sweet sound,
tell them you love them from your being’s height,
gift people their roses while still around.

Breathe in the air where butterflies fly round,
show gratitude to folks by matchless might,
do not wait until they are graveyard bound.

Weed nettles creeping on a fertile mound,
when trees have leaves and berries still bedight,
gift people their roses while still around.

Allow those kinds of beliefs to gain ground,
tell them they inspire you and feel all right,
do not wait until they are graveyard bound.

A life, with lilies and marigolds crowned,
on worth and value will shine a bright light,
gift people their roses while still around,
do not wait until they are graveyard bound.
