The memory of watching mama’s mouth turn upwards into a smile
I have kept Safe through the years; it’s helped me thru life’s miles
Even to this day, I can see Her smile, the image somewhat faded
It was clear to me that day she must have been elated
Children playing everywhere, mama baking as if she hadn’t a care
I smile at the image of her kneading dough. some White flour powder laced her hair
Fourteen hungry children to feed
Trying to fill our daily needs
I often wonder what Kept her beautiful smile intact
I couldn’t have ever filled her shoes; that is just a
fact
A smile lasts only seconds, but its warmth can stay to embrace you
Through the years of sadness or pain, it’s what will get you through
The smile on my mama’s face has pulled me thru dark years
She was a gentle giant I’m sure she shed
A million tears
A smile can last forever long after the person is gone
The best time to pull it out and use it is when you feel alone
Mamas smile has lasted a lifetime; at least her image has gotten me through
Some of life’s rough spots and days I’m feeling blue
A mamas smile is priceless, don’t trade it for anything
It’s there in your memory filed away under the heading, “happiness bring”
