Little boy in the hall
Holding roses so tight
Heartbeat echoes the call
In the glow of the light
Steps so quiet and slow
Hope is whispering near
Eyes that shimmer and glow
Courage conquers his fear
White roses in his hand
For his mother so dear
He can barely understand
Why she isn't here
Room so silent and still
She's asleep from the pain
By her side he stands still
Tears fall down like the rain
He whispers stay strong
But the fight's growing weak
In his heart there's a song
Of the love that they seek
Goodbye kisses so soft
With her final faint breath
White roses held aloft
She surrenders to death
