If roses grow in Heaven,Lord, please pick a bunch for me,place them in my dear friends arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her 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. Amen
