Mama I Thought of You Today

Mama I thought of you today By Lawrence M Nunez Mama I thought of you today, Couldn’t help but remember your sweet smile And soft whisper as you lay on your bed I prayed the Lord for comfort and peace That you these days may live by grace. For now we know by your work stained hands We surely are blessed Mama I thought of you today, When as a child you held my hand As I walked through life little troubles You told me you can’t fight my battles But to stand, fight and defend myself Don’t you start any fights you said, but don’t get beat up Surely I am blessed, to have a mama like you. Mama I thought of you today, When as a teenager fresh out of high school I came home my first job I wanted to quit You said my child you have to stoop before you can kick Reluctantly I returned, endured and worked hard You taught me the value of hard work Today I am blessed with the virtues you taught Mama I thought of you today Manly I stand, spouse and kids at my side, Well molded and shaped for success. Though it was rough, today with pride I smile, As I stop and think of the wisdom you did impart. The unconditional love you treasured in your heart, I am blessed to share today with family and friends. Mama I thought of you today, As I knelt by my bed to pray I thank the good Lord for the times we had When you thought me how tovlive, love and pray Now I pray the Lord to smile on you To hold your hands and comfort you As I whisper, mama I love you
