"My Mamma"

Sunday night at the downtown Bible study two of the guys got to talkin' about their mammas.

Darrell declared, "Now, y'all, I had it hard. My mother was a prostitute, and all mah brothers had different daddies. Two of my brothers were half white and the other was black."

Pooh Bear chimed in, "Noowww, unlike the rest o' you here, Ah had a strong mother. She taught me how to survive. She said ,'You need to survive in dis world, and I'm a gonna teach you how, an' she did."

I was thinking how I had a strong mamma too. She'd say, "Sylvia, darling, just lift your heart to the Lord and ask His help."

To me that's the best kinda Mamma one needs to survive.
