Analysis of amazing grace



As a child I grew up with amazing grace
my mama was a christian woman
my daddy was a christian man
mama was the singer of the family

waking up to mama singing was so special
god shown in mama's face
she loved everybody
nobody was a stranger to my mama
amazing grace was sung by mama when she made breakfast .
mama you and daddy are missed by us badly
especially by me
love ya both
