If Roses grow in Heaven

Lord, please pick a bunch for me. Place them in my Mother's arms

and tell her they're from me.

Tell her that I love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek

and hold her for awhile.

Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day,

but there's an ache within my heart that will never go away.
