Yee Gods and Little Fishes

Can't count the times Heard my mommy say “Yee gods and little fishes” Always during a thunder storm Such a gentle sweet old lady Rocking back and forth In her old rocking chair Oh... what memories!

I've heard that said, too, Jack. Always wondered exactly what it meant!

Ahh Jack, some of the sweetest memories of our childhood are when we remember things our mothers said and did. Things that will be tucked away in our hearts forever. Your poem is very precious.

I so remember cuddled up on her breast as she rocked and sang a gentle lullaby! SWEET!
