Best Motherdad Poems
i remember the time on a cold winters day
when i was called home from school
dad told me mama that you passed away
and his heart was crying for you
we all cried a lot on that day mom
me and dad and sister sal
some say it seems like only yesterday
but to me it seems like a thousand days of hell
it hurt dad so much you see
and he couldnt hold up his head
it even got worse just a while ago
when he learned that sally was dead
dad took to drinking a lot after that
and he couldnt carry on that way
mom save him a spot in heaven with you
because dad he just died today
now save me a spot in heaven with you
because soon mom i am coming home
tell the good lord to make us a spot
so we will never again be alone
When our dad left us and our mama took his place.
When he was gone he left without a trace.
So mama was mom and dad raised us on her own.
If she got mad at us her voice took a different tone.
No matter what we done no matter what was the case.
Her favorite phrase is "wipe that look off your face".
Now that our mamas in heaven we'll never hear them words
Wipe that look off your face are words that long to be heard.
