“If Roses Grow in Heaven” (by Dolores M. Garcia)

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 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.
