Seven little puppies,
sitting in a row,
I said, “Do you know what I have?”
They all said, “We don’t know!”
“Why it’s an Easter Lily,
happy as can be.
Now let me tell you something else,
It’s for Miriam you see.!”
“In memory of Beth,
That’s why I bought the flower.
I loved her oh so very much,
And still do to this hour.
Now Miriam was a closest friend,
and Beth is pleased to know
this Easter lily goes to her,
So she can watch it grow.”
The puppies were so silent
So anxious to know more.
“Well, Harold is giving it to her.”
“But what’s he giving for?”
“To make her very happy
Remembering her friend.
And now it’s time to finish,
So this comes to the end.”
