Roses for Mama (story)
The narrator is traveling to
The boy tells his story about living with his grandmother and that he had promised to purchase the roses to celebrate his mother's birthday. The story touches the narrator's heart, and he agrees to fund the boy's purchase. The boy thanks the narrator, who then proceeds with his planned purchase.
Later, as the narrator is driving out of town, he sees the boy at the cemetery, kneeling by what turns out to be his mother's grave. After the boy explains that "this is where my mother lives now," the narrator decides that he is taking his own mother for granted and decides to take his rose bouquet to give to her in person.
"Roses for Mama" is a song recorded and by country music artist C.W. McCall.
One of McCall's numerous recitations released during the 1970s, "Roses for Mama" differed from his usual novelty-style tales. Instead, this song focuses on a traveler's kindhearted actions toward a motherless boy.
