"Memories of Mama"
by Fred Passmore
copyright 2003 Prime Example

I remember Momma, for when I was just a kid,

no matter where I went, or when, she knew just what I did.

Her wisdom and her insight were known throughout the land,

and were just as sharp and striking as the smacking of her hand.

But her scoldings and her rappings were tempered by her love,

and it was by my Mama's kisses that I knew of God above.

Each night she'd tuck us into bed, and help us say our prayers,

she'd soothe away our worries, and sing away our cares.

Now that Mama's home with Jesus, in heaven far away,

I wish I'd paid attention to the things she had to say.

I miss the way she looked at me, love shining in her face,

If only I could see her now, and feel her fond embrace.

So, as the years fly swiftly by, no matter where I roam,

my memories of Mama... will always bring me home.
