If Roses Grow in Heaven
If roses grow in heaven, Lord,
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my loved one’s arms,
And tell them they're from me.
Tell them of our cherished moments,
And the memories that bloom.
Remind them of the laughter,
That filled our every room.
For if roses grow in heaven,
Let their beauty shine so bright,
To light their path and guide them,
Through the eternal night.
