Recessional 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 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 everyday, But there’s an ache within my heart That will never go away.
Terry, Lisa & Nickie
Her Smile
-Author Unknown
Though her smile is gone forever And her hand I cannot touch
I still have so many memories Of the one I loved so much. Her memory is now my keepsake
Which I’ll never part with. God has her in his keeping I have her in my heart. Sadly missed, but never forgotten
Grandmother
God looked around his garden
And found an empty space.
Then he looked down upon this earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best.
