DonLt Step on MotherLs Roses

We all were called to come back
To the old home on the farm mother
Passed away, what a mournful day
And as my daddy watched his eyes
Were filled with pain and hurt when
Someone stepped upon a rose and
Crushed it in the dirt

Don't step on Mother's roses, Daddy
Cried she planted them the day she
Was my bride and every time I see a
Rose, I see her smiling face she made
My darkest days look bright around
The old home place" "don't step on
Mother's roses, let 'em grow the way
They did since many years ago they'll
Bloom for me each year and I'll have
Mother near don't step on Mother's
Roses, let 'em grow

Years have passed away and how
The old home place has changed
Daddy had to go, we all miss him so
Children pick the roses as they go
Along the way but when their petals
Are abused, I hear my daddy say

Don't step on Mother's roses, Daddy
Cried she planted them the day she
Was my bride and every time I see a
Rose, I see her smiling face she made
My darkest days look bright around
The old home place" "don't step on
Mother's roses, let 'em grow the way
They did since many years ago they'll
Bloom for me each year and I'll have
Mother near don't step on Mother's
Roses, let 'em grow
