Make sure to call mama on Mother's Day,
Her birthday and the rest.
You know she's sitting by the phone
Wishing you all the best.
She doesn't want to bother you,
So she waits for YOU to phone.
She has so much free time now.
Most of it spent alone.
She knows you are very busy now,
With work and kids and wife.
She helps you out whenever she can.
She is the one who gave you life.
The years go by, so fast they fly.
The years just never stop.
She has joined the local church and
At local thrift stores she shops.
Luckily, you have an organized wife
Who sends the cards you sign.
You moved away for job prospects,
Not because you wanted to leave her behind.
She quietly lives her life,
Puttering around the yard,
Thinking of ways she could help you
And cherishing your beautiful cards.
Whenever you think of her,
Please listen and take the time,
Because I would give everything I have
For just five minutes with mine.
