Ah remember well me MAMMY
Prayin' foh me every Mornin'
GOD bless mah BABBY ~ an'make him
A fine MAN ~ grant him a fine WIFE
Plump Bosoms ~ fine chile bearin' hips
An' grant me many GRANDCHILLIN !
Remembr she ~ squeezin' fresh orange
Ev'ry mornin' into a jug
Bruisin' oil from der skin ~ for zest
I only have to tink ~ my mouth
Fills wid de savour of MAMMY'S
Orange ~ gumbo ~ ham rice an' peas
Me MAMMY ~ now in PARADISE
But still prayin' for me ev'ry day
Thanks for visitin' ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

This cute poem put tears on my eyes because made me miss my mama. Maezinha is how I called her. She was the most sweet mother someone could have.
Thanks MALU ~ I still have my MAMMY and I can understand why the poem made you sad ~ sorry ! Your Mama is in the Glory ~ do you think he still prays for you ? Brotherly HUGS ~ BRIAN
