Sweeter Than All the Roses

 
           SweeterThan All the Roses




Wishing  that I could roll back the years, 
And stop my hot, burning tears!

Though no prayers, can turn back the clock,
As you slept in my arms, with only one sock.

No more seeing you in Wal-Mart, silly -dance!
Only in  cracked, memory’s mirror, I have a chance.

For you, belong to tomorrow ‘s rainbows and sunshine,.
Grandson, for you, in gratitude, I do in tears pine!
Those baby soft days, talcum- powdered, ever divine!
