Latasha

I remember when homes were, 

Made of brick and 

cement 

When service was on Sunday 

And La’Tasha would 

always sing, 

As I Reminiscence over the 

times, 

La’Tasha sang at Church 

Service 

I marveled the day I moved 

away 

It was many days before I had 

a home again, 

Six daylight savings and 

a leap year had passed I would 

say; 

When I made it back to service 

To hear La’Tasha sing 

Oh how she could sing 

The mothers in the front 

rows would bellow 

With their handkerchiefs 

Waving Amen. 

La’Tasha had a gift to 

Sing 

Amen and Amen 

Everyone agreed 

La’Tasha 

Could Sing
