Mommy

Mommy - Miya Folick

My mother keeps secrets like a ghost

I ask her what her parents were like

She says that she doesn't know I

Find that hard to believe

If someone asked me to describe her

I'd recall everything

Mommy liked fried chicken

Mommy liked to eat slow

Mommy said the best part of leaving was to come home

Mommy never laughed when the joke wasn't funny

Mommy gave me jars of orange blossom honey

Please tell me what makes this life mine

Maybe it is obvious

But can you explain one more time

If I am the kin of my kin

Where do my parents end and where do I begin

Daddy always worked hard

Daddy always woke up

Earlier than everybody else

He didn't sleep much

Daddy always wanted everyone to like him

I think I'm just like him

I think I'm just like him

Mommy liked fried chicken

Mommy liked to eat slow

Mommy said the best part of leaving was to come home

Mommy never laughed when the joke wasn't funny
