About This Poem

Mamma's Simple Plan

Every single time I hear that song
It always brings tears to my eyes
I'm not sure if it's the sound of the singers voice
Or the lyrics to the words that he cries

A simple kind of man is something all men should be
For momma's always wish this upon their sons
Always hidden in a prayer that they may one day see
Their wishes carried out by all the righteous ones

As men search this world for a woman
That they may someday share with their love
The love they are always searching for
Only seems to come from the one up above

Do nothing but follow the love in your heart
Though at times it may be hard to control
For it was a gift given you at the very start
That will help you to carry that heavy load

The world that we all now live in
We may seem to live a little to fast
For the problems that always happen to occur
They may sometimes just seem to last

Spending your days searching for wealth
Does nothing for the goodness of your soul
With it you can't buy yourself new health
In those weary days when your body grows old

Momma's only want their sons to live a simple life
So they don't have to worry they will get to far out of hand
Always stay loyal,and true to the woman that you love
And keep your momma happy your living life as a simple man
