Happy Mother's Day Mama Mama, it's been thirty six long years Since you left us all in tears Your leaving was such a surprise O, death gets real when Mama dies
We had to trust this was God's Will You'd suffered so and been so ill When that first angel called your name You slipped away from all the pain
Mama, you were such a gentle soul You truly had a heart of gold You taught us all the golden rule We learned fair play at Mama's school
You would not practice prejudice That's why your children will resist Intolerance of any kind Mama, all of us are color blind.
You trained us never to neglect To treat our elders with respect. To speak real soft and work real hard... Obey the law and love the Lord.
At times we disappointed you... But in spite of all we'd say or do... You'd welcome us back to the nest Just smile and say "Mama knows best."
We know you've gone to a better place For you've already run life's race And, Mama, you have met my Ish!
You know now God granted your wish.
We've asked Jesus to give you a rose
And to kiss your tiny, turned up nose.
We miss you and we want to say
Mama, have a Happy Mother's Day.
