YOU GOT HERE RED AND

WRINKLED SCARED

AND CRYING

AND SHE TOOK HIM

UP AND

HELD HIM TO HER

BREAST

AND HE SURE WAS GLAD TO

GET WHAT MAMA OFFERED

AND HE WENT TO SLEEP AND

PUT HIS FEARS TO REST

IT DIDN'T SEEM TO MATTER

WHAT HE NEEDED

HE COULD ALWAYS COUNT

ON MAMA TO SUPPLY

AND REGARDLESS OF THE

SLEEP SHE MIGHT BE LOSING

HE ALWAYS FOUND A

TWINKLE IN HER EYES

THERE OUGHT TO BE A HALL

OF FAME FOR MAMAS

CREATION'S MOST UNIQUE

AND PRECIOUS PEARL

AND HEAVEN HELP US

ALWAYS TO REMEMBER

THAT THE HAND THAT ROCKS

THE CRADLE RULES

THE WORLD

SHE TAUGHT HIM ALL THE

AT TRIBUTES OF GREATNESS

THAT SHE KNEW HE COULDN'T

LEARN A WAY FROM HOME

BY THE TIME SHE WORE

THE COVER OFF HER BIBLE

HER HAIR WAS GRAY AND

HER LITTLE MAN WAS GONE

THERE OUGHT TO BE A

HALL OF FAME FOR MAMAS

CREATION'S MOST UNIQUE

AND PRECIOUS PEARL

AND HEAVEN HELP US

ALWAYS TO REMEMBER

THAT THE HAND THAT ROCKS

THE CRADLE RULES

THE WORLD

THAT THE HAND THAT

ROCKS THE CRADLE

RULES THE WORLD
