Mother In Heaven Poem 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 a while. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day, But there's an ache within my heart That will never go away.
