Answers Don't Come Easy Unless You Talk To Mama

She could be sitting in the chair

in the living room

or sweeping up the fun we had

with the broken broom

 

Or talking on the phone

and doing dishes in the sink

Always looking too busy for me

that's what I would think

 

Needing help with schoolwork

I didn't want no drama

Little did I know answers don't come

easy unless you talk to Mama

 

I would stand in the doorway

until I got her attention

When I caught her eye I could

swear she would cry did I fail to mention

 

Mama wondered why I didn't call out to her

let her know she was needed

I just knew to say - that's okay

But I could feel her heart bleeding

 

She always said nothing came before me

and that I was her pride and joy

Whatever I needed, no matter the time or day

I was her little boy

 

I was a little man who didn't understand

when to use a period or a comma

Even if she didn't know - she never let it show

But I got my answer when I talked to Mama

 

Mama was never too proud to ask for help

when it came to my education

I watched how she kept on searching

so I made it my dedication

 

She may not have had a degree

But to me she was the smartest in the world

My champion, my savior, my Super Girl

I would cheer until my toes curled

 

Now as a grown man

I remember I called her Andromeda

Because answers didn't come easy

 until I talked to Mama
