BIRTHDAY

ANNIVERSARY

RRuutthh EE.. ZZoorrnnWho passed away on

April 20, 1994MMyy RRoossee

My rose is white,your rose is red;

Your mother lives,but mine is dead.

And looking on your red, red rose

Which you wear, ah,so happily,

I wish some lucky windthat blows

Would bring my motherback to me

That I might take her hand again

And press it,oh, so tenderly.

I would dry the tears and ease the pain

That in her life she bore for me.

That chance is yours,not mine, tonight;

You rose is red,but mine is white.

Your rose is red,but mine is white.

And yet, when I kneeldown tonight

To say my prayers as shadows creep,

“Now I lay me down to sleep,”

The same sweet prayer I used to know,

In Loving Memory

And love in days of long ago,

My mother will come back to me.My head will rest

upon her knee.Her hand will soothe

my furrowed browAnd I will know

someway, somehow,My mother lives,she is not dead,

And my white rose will turn to red.

Sadly missed by herdaughter, Jennifer Cottrell
