LITTLE BOY

When I was a little boy, my mother said to me, 
"Watch the new born roses grow. 
It's a pretty sight to see.
You, my son, shall blossom as the flower below. 
I will be your raindrops. 
You will be my rose.

Listen while I tell you of the beauty in the sky. 
There's a home for angels on the clouds so high.
I must be an angel. 
In heaven I shall stay. 
If you ever need me, I'll hear each word you say."

Now her raindrops fall no more. 
Who will take her place? 
Will I live to blossom full or wither into space?
Many times I wonder on the clouds above 
Is it my dear mother who showers me with love?

When I was a little boy.
