mama said you can’t hurry love
mama said save it for the wedding night
mama said it fits like a glove
mama said don’t worry he won’t bite
mama said talk it out, don’t let anger brew
mama said go easy on yourself
mama said let your words be kind
mama said bring your light into the world
mama said live your truth
mama was the caregiver, kept the peace, the bond that kept us all together.
