If Roses grow in Heaven

If Roses grow in Heaven

Lord,

please pick a bunch for us.

Place them in my Mother’s

arms and tell her they’re

from us.

Tell her that we 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,

We do it every day,

but there’s an ache

within our hearts

that will never go away.

Beloved, Mother
