One White Rose 

This song is about my late wife’s wish to have her grave marked with just one white rose. Rosalina had mentioned this to a close friend and relative, a year before she actually died, aged 69, on March 14, 2024. At the time of her request, she had no idea that she already had cancer, and was hoping to be celebrating her 70th Birthday this month.

One White Rose
When I die, please mark my grave
With one white rose
When I die, remember me
With one white rose
Then I’ll be happy and rest in peace
No more worries, finally at ease
I’ve tried so hard, to put things right
To make amends and be contrite
When I die, please mark my grave
With one white rose
When I die, remember me
With one white rose
No matter what, I must be kind
My new expression, is “never mind”
Some call me Happy, a name I love well
Dennis’ children just make me feel swell
When I die, please mark my grave
With one white rose
When I die, remember me
With one white rose
My little sister is my legacy
Built with my earnings from the embassy
Can’t often be there, she’s so far away
But others may share her, and enjoy their stay
When I die, please mark my grave
With one white rose
When I die, remember me
With one white rose
The Abbey Centre, a breath of fresh air
Making new friends, so much to share
Optimism it fills my heart
I’m really making, a brand new start
When I die, please mark my grave
With one white rose
When I die, remember me
With one white rose
