We will miss our loving and caring Mother, Grandmother, and Granny Rose. Tell your mother that you love her, And say the words just now. Sometime you'll stand where flowers cover The folded hands and marble brow. What then to her will mean your lilies Or the message of a rose? Give her your tender love today With the sweetest flower that grows.
