Mama Always Said

Published by Family Friend Poems February 2017 with permission of the Author.

When I was a little girl...
Mama always said,
If I fit you in a shoe-box,
Will you stop growing?

When I was much younger...
Much younger than I am now,
Mama always said,
Only the best girls use their manners.

When I was small...
Much smaller than I am now,
Mama always said,
Be kind,
Even to the ones who aren't.

When I was older...
But not much older,
Mama always said,
Tell everyone you love them;
You never know what will happen.

When I was not so tiny...
But still her little girl,
Mama always said,
Go for what you want in life,
No matter how big.

When I was older but younger...
Younger than I am now,
But older than I was then,
Mama always said,
Now you, you don't let anyone bring you down.

Now that I am old....
But not too old,
Mama always says
You are beautiful. You are smart,
And I have taught you right.
You show that to the world.

That Mama,
She is something.
She is a smart lady;
She is truly beautiful.
She has giving me much
And taught me more,
So much more,
And to her I give my love.
