When I Walk Up To My Fridge
When I walk up to my fridge
I see my mama pictures stuck
on there,
all I can do is stand and stare.
In our house in the kitchen
on our fridge you will see
many faces stuck all around
from the older grand kids to the
younger ones,
Katelyn is the newest pictures
to come.
So I walk up to my fridge
and I look upon mama face
inside of me I feel a
silent cry.
As my finger touches
her photo I say-
Hello mama
I am so glad I took many
pictures of you,
because this way
I will never forget you
and never have to say good- bye
When I do walk up to my fridge
in our kitchen that my daddy build
with his own hands,
I can still hear my mama voice
yelling [Sam come help me open
up this jar ]
daddy would come flying out
of the living room
humming his favorite song,
corina, corina where you been
last night.
When I walk up to my fridge
I see many faces that
reflexed my mama and daddy life.
AS I take this picture off the fridge,
you know the one taken at the church
where mama was so nicely dressed.
I smile while trying to hold back the tears,
I feel so honored and blessed.
To have a mommy
like Macel you see,
and just that, the Lord placed me in her tummy.
Now when I walk up to my fridge
I am so glad that I took the time
to take lots of pictures of my mama,
so I can stick her face up everywhere.
then days like today
I can stop and stare
at her picture on our fridge
because some days to think
about her death
it more than I can bare.
