Beloved Wife, Mother & Grandmother

If flowers g row in Heaven

If flowers 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 I love her and miss her

And when she turns to smile

Place a kiss upon her cheek

And hold her for awhile
