Don`t Step On Mother`s Roses

<br>We all were called to come back to the old home on the farm <br>Mother`s passed away what a mournful day <br>And as my daddy watched his eyes were filled with pain and hurt <br>When someone stepped upon a rose and crush it in the dirt <br>Don`t step on mother`s roses daddy cried she planted them the day she was my bride <br>And everytime I see a rose I see her smilin` face <br>She made my darkest days look bright round the old homeplace <br>Don`t step on mother`s roses let them grow <br>The way they did since many years ago <br>They`ll bloom for me each year and I`ll have mother near <br>Don`t step on mother`s roses let them grow <br>Years have passed away and how the old homeplace has changed <br>Daddy had to go we all miss him so <br>Children pick the roses as they go along the way <br>But when their petals are abused I hear my daddy say <br>Don`t step on mother`s roses...
