In loving memory of my dearest mother, Martha L. McDaniel McBride, who passed away May 3, 2005.

If roses grow in Heaven,

Lord, please pick a bunch for me.

Place them in my Mother's arms and tell they are from me.

Tell her I love her and miss her and when she turns to smile,

Place a kiss on her cheek and hold her for a while.

Because remembering is easy,

I do it every day,

But there is an ache within my heart that will never go away.
