Mom’s Apron

MOMS APRON
My mother wore an apron over every dress she had
It wasn’t to put on a fashion show or start a trendy fad

My mama was a model but not the city kind
A fancy dress and high heels on her you wouldn’t find

She walked the runway daily and tirelessly I will add
As she showed off golden biscuits she’d just made for my dad

Her aprons came in colors of reds and greens and grays
She wore it tied around her waist that was my mamas way

My mother was a model of how a women should act
To gain her daughters trust and show us how to use tact

Humility and kindness it was tied up in her heart
She never spoke unkindly in vain ways she took no part

When mom hung up her apron on a hook up by her bed
It was only after making sure we were fed and put to bed

My mama wore an apron tied on early in the morning ready to go
She walked the runway everyday and showed us how she stole the show
