Did I Listen?...Then

In Momma's arms
I would hear her sing
As she would rock me to sleep.
For me to keep.
Did I listen,
Did I listen...Then?

On Momma's lap
I would watch her tie my shoes
one by one.
She would say, "You must be careful in this big world,
My little son."
Did I listen,
Did I listen...Then?

Holding Momma's hand
She would point out the
dangers of life.
All along she was trying to
build up my beliefs.
Did I listen,
Did I listen...Then?

On my own
I learned Momma was right
about many things.
The things she taught will help me
find wedding rings.
Yes, I listened
Yes, I finally listened...Momma.

Dedicated to my mom:
A woman who tried so hard to lead me down the right path in life.
