Send your flowers to the living,
Do not keep them for the grave:
They may comfort some poor m0urner :;
They may strengthen help and save !,
Send them in their fragrant beauty.
Show your friendship true and warm.
| What would ease a rosewood Casket?
What would ease hfeless form?
Hearts there are with burdens laden,
Bearing hravely toll and care,
Ready to receive your kindness
Should you leave your ointment
there
Don't forget the kindly counsel,
Don't forget the loving tone,
They will make the cross seem lighter
To some sorrow laden one.
There is so much we could do to help
tighten each other 5 burden if we would
only try. There are homes made dark
and hearts made sad by the Angel of
Death. We could visit those homes
and try to cheer them with our pre-
sencc for few hours. We can visit
the homes of the sick and try by some
little act of kindness to help the poor
sufferer. If you can't go yourself
you can send a bunch Of flowers, send
some word of cheer, or even ask how
they are getting along, 1t will do
| them good to even know that you think
enough about them to ask how they
are.
