Mother's Crazy Love! ! ! Poem by Compton Wright

I know you love me
I can tell by the way that you kiss me
Hold me tight when you hug me
Took me to school the very first day
You gave me a piece of butterscotch sent me on my way
I know it’s frightening now I can tell by the pain in your eyes
When the rent was late again
Too strong to fold being on your own
Lord bless her soul....for her struggles
Mama knew struggle like the back roads
Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes
Mom I swear you never have to worry again

Up bright and early, scrambled eggs
Swelling in your legs, bills on the bed
Still you managed to show me a smile
Then walk to work about two or three miles
Mom I'm gonna struggle with you
I'm gonna help you see the bigger picture
You gave me something no one could take away
You made it so easy to say...I love you mama

And when I had those horrible nightmares
That made me sweat from my mind to the soul
You’ll hold me till the pain went away
With a lullaby to put the suffering asleep
I could say that I’m blessed to have by my side
You spoiled us with your kindness and sweetness
But mama don’t worry us no more as we grow
Because I’ll make you proud in each and every day
From the darkest nights where the stars are the guides
And the sun is as bright as hundred sunshine mornings
I can tell you for sure that I will keep you in my heart
Because it all because of your…mother crazy love
