Mother 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 in love her 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 in my heart that will never go away, I will not remember her fight for breath, I will not remember the strife, I will not dwell upon her death but celebrate her life.

 Love You Momma, Moosey
