Mama's kitchen wasn't fancy
Just simple and homespun
She would cook up many things
And always make it fun.
A kitchen filled with laughter
Luscious smells would fill the air
A cookie jar I could reach
If I stood upon a chair.
Chicken fried a golden color
With gravy thick and brown
Strawberry shortcake for dessert
Now who could turn that down!
Lesson's learned at her knee
Will always stay with me
In her kitchen she taught best
The important things you see.
