"She Gave Us Love, Not Money" by Kenny Sloan
She sometimes had to switch our legs,
but didn't tan our hides
She took us to the store,
oh what a scenic ride
She shared our life's successes
and boasted them with pride
She has to be one of the greatest
parents, teachers, mothers, and wives
She taught us discipline and hard work
with a dose of love on the side
And with that dose of love
for those she leaves behind
It makes it so much easier
for her loved ones to survive.
