Have You a Rose to Spare?

Little Therese, Little Therese,
I come with a whispered prayer,
Little Therese, Little Therese,
Have you a rose to spare?
No pale bud do I ask of you,
But a bloom that is wondrous fair,
Little Therese, Little Therese,
Have you a rose to spare?

Too little your hands, to hold them all,
You are dropping them everywhere.
That beautiful one near your heart,
Have you that rose to spare?
"Ah Yes", I know for your love's dear
sake
Thorns were your hoarded share.

Sometimes though, you asked your love
Had He a rose to spare?

What do you whisper "Little Therese”
As you smile from your picture there.
Have you but thorny stems for me,
Have you no rose to spare?
Then teach me like you, to prize the
thorns
With their healing, hidden cure
And shall be glad, because for me
You had truly a Rose to spare.

Rosaleen will always be remembered by her sons and daughters Eamonn, Therese, Josephine, Maureen and Patrick, Therese’s husband Paul, Eamonn’s partner Linda, grandchildren Liam, Eoin and Lauren, the extended Clarke, McGinley and McArdle families, her neighbours and friends.
