My Mom
She's not rich
but can have money in her pocket
She's not perfect
but she doesn't do everything wrong
She doesn't have the best attitude
but she's not the meanest person you'll contact
She may not be fine to you
but she's pretty to me
She's not yours
but she's mine
She's not at the peak of her life
but she's not at the bottom of the barrel
She might think it's taking too long
but she knows that God will step in right on time
She may not have many friends
but Mama Jo and I are numbers 1 and 2
She's not a counselor
but she gives me advice anytime
She doesn't have a college education
but she does have her high school diploma
She may not be the smartest person
but she knows a lot
She's not the Lord and cannot work miracles
but she's my mom,
She's the best mom
and no one can do it better.
