If I gave you a rose for all your pain and strife1
You'd have enough roses to last all your life2
And if I took one away for each happy time3
You'd be without roses4
But, that's just fine5
Overall, you could say that you've had a good life6
Being a sister, daughter, mother, and a good wife7
And, even though your face shows that you had it rough8
Your heart always showed you were there when the goin' got though9
And I admit that I didn't appreciate you then10
But I love you now as I look to back when11
I used to sit on the floor between your legs12
And you'd brush my hair13
Those were the days14
And, I'll never forget you so don't think I ever would15
You truly are the little engine that could....

Thanks for sharing and keep writing!

Beautiful!! I know she has to love it. I love the memory of sitting in front of her while she brushed your hair, I always loved that and still love for someone else to brush my hair.
