MAMA WAS A TAXI

©Robert Burnham

Mama was a taxi

She drove us everywhere

She took us all to practices

And read a book while she waited there

 

Mama was a chef

Which really wasn't her wish

But over a hot stove she slaved

Be it roast beef, chicken or fish

 

Mama was a teacher

Her wisdom went far beyond school

She taught us the Bible and how we should live

She taught us that Jesus was cool

 

Mama was our mailman

She gave us the news - good or bad

She shared our joy if it was happy

And comforted us if it was sad

 

But most of all, our mama

Was the one person we couldn't live without

Still watching over us today

Of that; I have no doubt.

All so true! I used to feel like a wallet on wheels sometimes, but I've always felt loved and appreciated. My life would be so empty without my children.
