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... 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.
