Cryin With Mama

There came a call
sometime in the wee
ringing the sleep away.
Seemed to be a wrong
before the brain kicked over
cryin with mama today.

Remember when...
memories spilling out
spun like potters clay.
Fishing, camping, rodeos
little league, cotton candy
cryin with mama today.
First prom and football
crashes and crutches
basketball played on snow.
Wood stoves, campfires
puppy kisses, kitten cuddles
cryin with mama today.

Just one motorcycle ride
takin mama 'round the block
hootin, hollerin all the way.
She held on hard, tight
eyes shut even tighter
cryin with mama today.

Call came in wee hours
been expected, but still
called home to stay.
She passed smiling, reaching
gone to be with Jesus
cryin with mama today.
