This is going into the funeral folder for Saturday.
What Mommas Do
My momma taught me left from right, and right from wrong.
She soothed my hurts and cooked my meals and cleaned my clothes.
She loved me and I never had to wonder why.
Because that's what mommas do.
And Momma tried to fix the world sometimes
And make it safe for kids and dogs and flowers.
She loved me and I never had to wonder why.
Because that's what mommas do.
And whenever the night seems just too dark and lonely and long,
I remember when Momma was there to dry my eyes and wipe my nose.
She loved me and I never had to wonder why.
Because that's what mommas do.
And Momma taught me all of my rhymes.
And showed me that rainbows come from showers.
She loved me and I never had to wonder why.
Because that's what mommas do.
