Mamas Song

This song is for all the mothers out there.

She wakes up daily, always getting ready

She’s always working, never has time for anything

She stays awake late at night, holding on to her pillow tight

The kids have school, the house is a mess

Dishes need done, baby needs a bath

Her hairs a mess, makeup smeared

She’s always saying “maybe I have to make time”

Her husbands always gone, working a blue collar job

She wishes she could run away

Start a new life at bay

She’s always thinking she isn’t doing enough

She’s always saying “why is shit so rough”

What she doesn’t know is she’s doing an amazing job

Her children always whisper quietly “thank you, mom”

She makes the coffee, running late

For her 9-5 job making breakfast plates

She thanks the babysitter and she goes

She slips on the way

The rain is making it harder for her to stay awake

She cries on the side of the road, until a passerby stops and sees her

She says “baby it’s gonna be alright”

She wishes she could run away

Start a new life at bay

Shes always thinking she isn’t doing enough

She’s always saying “why is this shit so rough”

What she doesn’t know is she’s doing an amazing job

Her children always whisper quietly “thank you mom”

She cries herself to sleep that very night, just needing a break from life

Next morning she awakes

Her children and husband stand by her with a flower bouquet

Little Anna-Lynn gives her a hug and says “mom I love you a lot”

*talking in normal tone*

Things do get better, mama. Hold your head up high
