Momma's Love
The wisdom that I learned from her.
Were like pure diamonds, oh yes they were.
The one true thing I can truly say.
Is her faith in God and how she loved to pray.
And all the years that I created much pain.
And I figured somehow I’d cause her faith to strain.
But to my surprise it only grew and it got so strong.
Still determined as she was to help me along.
She prayed for me with a never ending and a faithful heart.
She prayed to God that I’d straighten up, and somehow maybe I’d get smart.
Before she died her wish came true.
I found redemption I was made anew.
There was a song called “ I Was The Only Hell My Momma Ever Raised.”
That was my song it fit me in so many ways.
Mrs. Christy wrote a poem called ‘That Mother Of Mine.”
That got me to thinking on how my mother would shine.
A very kind hearted woman that always to her, her family came first.
When grandkids came around you’d think she would burst.
I know in my heart she did her very best.
And if she were given a score she'd get an A+ on this test.
I know I was a lucky man to have a mother that cared.
And so her memories that come to mind is what I love to share.
The day the Lord took her He took a chunk of me.
And I love her so and I just thank God for sharing you see.
