Momma sherrie

I pull up a chair and the hours just fade

Sitting right there in the space that we made

You've got a patience I just can't explain

Like a shelter of calm in the middle of rain

Momma Sherrie, you always know what to say

When my world gets a little too heavy to weigh

So listen here, I just want you to know

I'm thankful for you and the love that you show

For the advice that you give when I'm losing my way

For the hours of talking and sitting all day

When I'm spilling my heart and I ask, "You feel me?"

You always do, Momma Sherrie

We get to talking and lose track of time

Laughing at jokes that are yours and are mine

You never rush me, you just let me speak

Giving me strength when I'm feeling too weak

It's a rare kind of grace, how you lend me your ear

And start off your wisdom by saying, "Listen here"

So listen here, I just want you to know

I'm thankful for you and the love that you show

For the advice that you give when I'm losing my way

For the hours of talking and sitting all day

When I'm spilling my heart and I ask, "You feel me?"

You always do, Momma Sherrie

I don't say it enough, but I hope you can see

Just what your listening means unto me

Through all of the laughter and tears that we dry

I love you so much, and that's never a lie

So listen here, I just want you to know

I'm thankful for you and the love that you show

For the advice that you give when I'm losing my way

For the hours of talking and sitting all day

When I'm spilling my heart and I ask, "You feel me?"

You always do, Momma Sherrie

Yeah, I love you so much, Momma Sherrie
