Falling Roses

Johnny Millican 1953 (Texas)

Rhymed
The time for falling roses;

Are when you are knitted in your shroud-

A simple family man;

Who has no attraction to the crowd-


Who has no desire for being famous;

No desire for company-

But knows his worth upon this earth-

For the sake of humanity

About this poem

I am a strong believer in the common Man being the unhonored hero.
