What Mama Said
When I am really angry and I am just about to go completely mad
I have to find within me the ability not to be bad
As I could go ballistic when someone does me wrong
Yet as my Mama said to me 'if its violent then its wrong'
Forgiveness is much kinder
Not just to them but you
As its your soul that will suffer
Karma coming back on you
So as Mama used to say
Keep a silent tongue
As one day you will have your say
But not now while your young
Now I have to listen harder
As your no longer here
I love you now and always
From your daughter you loved so dear
