Roses From Heaven

If roses come from heaven
Pick a bunch for me
And place them in my children's arms
And tell them they're from me
Tell them that they're from the heart
And when they turn to smile
Place a kiss upon their cheek
And ask them to stay for a while
Because only you know
How much they truly mean to me
And one day I hope they'll see
That I truly love them with all of my heart
I had from the very start
So until I get to see them again
Keep them safe in your arms
Please make sure they come to no harm
Keep sending them roses from heaven
Roses as beautiful as them
Because they are truly beautiful
And I know that they love me
As much as you do
