Roses for Mama
I could hear their story again and again
another melody brought to my heart
the lyrics took my soul
rich from the moments
the memories
of the sweet story you told
and
I heard it again
that song
it reminded me
once again
of the two of you
George Morgan
singing “Room Full of Roses”
The story is as clear as today
you told us many times
how when you fell in love
and broke each other’s heart
and then it happened
my eventual Daddy, you sent the roses
you sent the note
“a roomful of roses
would never be enough
to show my love for you”
long story short
you were married in Reno
and this become
your favorite song
I am glad you had it
and each other
