Roses in Heaven
A Special Gift [Elegy]

ROSES IN HEAVEN

If roses grow in heaven, Lord,
Then I beseech of Thee:
Please place a bunch in Mama's arms,
And tell her they’re from me.

Assure her that I love her still
And miss her funny smile.
Bestow a kiss upon her cheek,
And hold her for a while.

December tenth, so long ago,
She bore me forth that day.
With breath from her, I offer now
This spiritual bouquet.




(12 lines -- alternate lines of Iambic Tetrameter and Trimeter )
