When my time has come and green eyes finally close I would ask this of life, to please leave, just one rose. Lay it softly against my cheek so that I might feel that the love of one, at least was real; that my time here on earth hasn't been all for naught that I might be held in the heart of one and not be forgotten. If upon tomorrow it is my time to go I pray that someone might leave just one rose. |

I have a feeling that when that time comes (which will be a long time from now!) that there will be many, many roses.  The love is real.A lovely read. ~alyssa Hupomeno. |

Donna, m'dear, your cheeks would not be broad enough to support all the roses that would be put upon them!!!  Love you! Sending a rose in advance (many, many years in advance!) "rose" Linda |

Tender expression of a moment of melancholy, dear Donna, beautifully put. As other friends here have said, please trust that there will be many roses (besides the one which you will cherish in a special way). Love and hugs. Margherita |

As an unabashedly 'incurable romantic,' perhaps I am especially biased...however, I think this 'write' is most fine! [It reminds me of a softer-side Robert Burns penning] I am particularly fond of the beginning: "When my time has come and green eyes finally close I would ask this of life, to please leave, just one rose." v. serious, sustained applause!! |

THIS speaks such volumes!! Your words are gentle yet also a quiet strength lies behind them...beautiful! "Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away" |

Dear Donna, I'm sure that time is a long long way into the future, but when it does come I'm sure it will be weighed down with roses. A beautiful poem, a big hug to you' Lindsay |
