POEM FROM SON

If roses grew in heaven, Lord pick them all for me, place them in my Mother's arms and tell her they're from her only child.

Tell her I'll always love and miss her, and when she looks and smiles place a gentle kiss upon her cheek and hold her for me.

Remembering her is easy I do it everyday, but there's a hurt in my heart that will never go away.
