If Roses Grow in Heaven

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 and miss her, and when she turns to smile,
Please place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is easy, Lord. I do it everyday.
But there is an ache within my heart, that will never go away.

  1. ((( HUGS ))), Sue! Your Mom had to be an incredible woman to have a daughter as special as you are. I know she's with you everyday, watching and guiding as angels do.

  10. I saw this today, on the day of my Dad's Birthday who passed away two years ago. It's been a bitter-sweet day for me, shedding many tears and remembering those things that made my "Dad" so special. Thanks for sharing this Sue, it makes me realize that I am not alone with my thoughts and feelings.
