Mama Said... 💕
Mama always told me to be careful of the company I keep,
She said Every shut eye ain't sleep.
Every good bye ain't gone
Only a dog wants a bone...
And a dog don't want it if it ain't no meat on it!
She said a stitch in time saves nine,
Always follow my first mind.
She stressed that charity begins at home,
She said we are all just library books on loan.
She said every tub must sit on its own bottom,
She said people will always point fingers at Gomorrah and Sodom.
She said life is too short,
Live, laugh, love and make him court.
She said you lie down with dogs you'll get up with fleas,
She reminded me to always say thank you and please.
She said some folk think they are looking cute but are looking curious!
She said it takes you to get tired.
She said that I'd rather be safe than sorry.
She said in times of danger that I'd rather folk to say there she go a splittin',

Than to say here she goes a ...well y'all know what Mama was talkin' 'bout.
She said you reap what you sow.
Everything that is sitting high on this earth
Will one day sit low.
She said oh how the mighty do fall,
She said some short folks wanna be tall.
She said that every dog has his day,
It's a poor wind that doesn't change,
Don't show your teeth to every guy you meet.
No pain no gain.
Mama said while you are digging a grave for me dig one for yourself...
Because something in the milk ain't white...
Don't let somebody sell you any wooden nickels,
You gotta be smarter than the equipment
You work with...and in the drawer you gotta be the sharpest knife!
If it was a snake it would have bitten you.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
There is always a lesson to be learned.
You can't have everything when you wake up,
She said see a Penny pick it up and all day long you'll have 

good luck.

She said don't turn down nothin' but your collar

She said 5 pennies make a nickel and 10 dimes

make a dollar!
She said fool me once shame on you

She said fool me twice shame on me.

She said catch a sucker bump his head.
She said crows only pick at the best fruit!
She said all God's children need walking boots.
She said it takes all kinds to make a world.
She said I can show you better than I can tell you

and keep living.
Because trouble don't last always and
It doesn't always rain in one spot!
There ain't nothing new under the sun.
She said believe in yourself if you want others to
Believe in you because
Further on up the road
Time will tell.
