The rose that grows in heaven
is a wondrous sight to see
It's beauty and it's kindness
was God's gift to you and me
Lady Lacey had a vision
of spreading love to all
The barriers of selfishness
and hatred soon did fall
The Kindness that she planted
took root and soon it grew
It flourished and it multiplied,
became her garden, me and you
The buds that branched forth from the rose
numbered thousands and grew strong
Spreading her kindness and love to all
with a smile and with a song
God so loved this special rose,
and he picked one of the best
He whispered softly in her ear
"Come to Me and have your rest"
The rose she gently closed her eyes
as the angels took her home
She grows now up in heaven
as her buds, we all have grown
So when you see a rose
think of the love we share
A love so sweet and wonderful
which Lady Lacey left in our care
