If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for us,
place them in our Mother’s arms
and tell her they’re from us.
Tell her we love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for a while
because remembering
her is easy,
we do it every day,
but there’s an ache
within our hearts
that will never go away.

Mom we will always Love you.
