Momma wakes me up
Cooks my food
Washes my clothes
She takes me to school
She takes me home
Yells at me if I
Forget to shut the door
Before walking the dog
And for letting Fido
Chew on anything
As I take him for a walk
Momma plays games with me
She takes me on trips
Buys me books to read
Helps me read the hard parts
We watch TV together
Sing songs everywhere
She puts me to bed–
Sometimes I can’t sleep
Living room light still on
I sneak and see
Momma is awake
Alone on the couch
Playing a sad song
On the guitar
