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 her and miss her,
And when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek
And hold her for a while.

Remembering her is easy;
I do it every day.
But there’s an ache in my heart
That will never go away.
