Mamma it has been a long, long time
Momma I miss your songs and rhyme
You left us so young and in your prime
Momma precious mother of mine
Momma you showed me Jesus was the way
Momma you taught me to read the Bible and pray
You showed me how to work and how to play
Momma your faith showed there is coming a better day
Momma you taught life was not about things
Momma you showed me it was not riches or golden rings
You proved that life was about home and a song to sing
Momma I miss your hugging and kissing
Momma you showed how to never give up and live
Momma you taught me to share and give
You trained me how to be innovative
Momma thank you for helping me be creative
Momma you wiped away my tears when I would cry
Momma you showed me how to suffer and die
You thought of others until you told me goodbye
Momma I know I will see by and by
Momma would be ninety today, She died form melanoma cancer at age 55 in January 1987
