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
