Mamaw

The kitchen light is always on, a steady kind of glow

You have a way of making sure that everybody knows

They have a place to rest their head, a plate to fill their soul

The best meals that we've ever had, the warmest hands to hold

Mamaw, you're a fortress, gentle but so tough

Whenever we are falling, your love is strong enough

Clothed in strength and dignity, you weather every storm

You laugh without a fear of what the future has in store

You're the one who keeps us safe and warm

I look back on the memories, the moments large and small

Whenever we have needed you, you answer every call

You wrap us up in kindness, you shield us from the rain

A quiet, fierce protector who can take away the pain

Mamaw, you're a fortress, gentle but so tough

Whenever we are falling, your love is strong enough

Clothed in strength and dignity, you weather every storm

You laugh without a fear of what the future has in store

You're the one who keeps us safe and warm

The words of Proverbs echo in the way you live your life

A beacon in the shadows, a comfort in the night

You never hesitate to help, you never ask for praise

We are who we are today because of all your ways

Mamaw, you're a fortress, gentle but so tough

Whenever we are falling, your love is strong enough

Clothed in strength and dignity, you weather every storm

You laugh without a fear of what the future has in store

You're the one who keeps us safe and warm

Mamaw, you're the one who keeps us safe and warm
