Everybody's Mother
James Walker 1952 (Louisiana)
She's Everybody's Mother,
She blows her breath,
On every little burn and scratch
She soothes,
every little wound and scar
She kisses,
every little bump and bruise
She dries our eyes,
every time pain makes us cry
And then, she cries for us
She helps us to solve,
every little problem and dilemma
She offers her wisdom,
at every little corner of confusion
She leads in applauds,
at our every little accomplishments
She crosses cultural lines,
and then ties them together again
She connects us,
in the most emotional of ways
She's Just Like A Mother,
And Everybody Loves Her,
She's Oprah
