She made her bed
She kept her house
neat and clean
Yep
She was mean
but
in a loving way
She did what she had to do…
Which like everyone else..
She had to go through
The good
and the bad
Because if you’re going to grow
You must take the good with the bad
to realize what you had
She didn’t give up
She still not a quitter
Stood and delivered
With a kind , loving soul
Like a running back to the goal
When her mind is made up
She’s tough
She’s rough
and can get mad and sad
and make you wish you never had
gotten on her bad side
She use to cope
with Chivas
or
Smirnoff
when she was mad at dad
and perhaps some Jazz
or
The Isley Brother’s
of the The Gap Band
or Kool and The Gang
or O’Jays
Then one day she got
tired oh so tired
after many years
and she quit
Everything I mentioned above
Because her husband
cracked his crock and
she had to shake the spot
in order to preserve her sanity
To this very day, hunched over and riddled with pain
She’s stands up again and again
To protect the ones she love
Given with the strength from the one above.
She’s my Heroine !
