Lovelier Than a Rose

Oh lovely rose song Pressed in that book for so long Music can't be wrong Memories that stay always recurring array Learning how to pray Thoughts engraved so deep Everlasting pure, keep Reminding of love Oh that lovely rose Pressed in that book that was closed She lovingly chose Memories that say True love won't take her away Momma I miss you

A lovely, touching tribute poem. I know what it is like to lose a mother--mine died when she was aged just 48. Thanks for reading my stuff, and for your gracious comments. Regards, Robert.

I love this one, its amazing how a mother can change the world, no matter good or bad a mothers a mother. I have 3 children which are almost all grown with many mistakes of their own, as I read your write it makes me feel good because the love of a child is so heavenly pure no matter how old we get... :)))
