Rose Garden of memories
In our Rose Garden of memories
We see you standing there
An angel in disguise
Who taught us how to care
We long to hear your voice
for real not in our dreams
We are missing you so much
how empty our world seems
People say time heals all wounds
that someday the pain will subside
But Grandma I can tell you
I think they must have lied
The emptiness we are feeling now
is strong and we are weak
As days go by without you
they seem so dreary and so bleak
In my Rose Garden of memories
We know you'll always be
for though you're gone
from this mortal world
In our hearts you'll always be
I love you Grandma, Nancy
