Mama’s Cotton Dress

My mama wore only dresses back in the day
Maybe in the fifties, that was just the way

Wide-brimmed garden hats that had country charm
Pillbox hats and summer gloves weren’t much good on a farm

She had a few dresses of pale colors made of cotton
The popular styles of the day she never would have gotten

No wild floral prints, no stripes, not even polka dots
Mother never could afford to buy a dress that was store-bought

Mamas naturally conservative look was just her way
As an example to her daughters her feminine side display

On those rare occasions when mom had to leave the house
She might put on a billowy skirt with a fresh white ironed blouse

My mother wore a simple homemade cotton dress
When I think of mama, that’s the memory of her I miss
