Loss of Mother Poem

If Roses Grow in Heaven

By Dolores M. Garcia

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 I love her 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.
