I Remember Her

i saw a child all bright and happy
picking cereal boxes, drinks, candy
putting on her moms grocery cart
yes, she knows what family needs
she constantly reminding her mom
i'm all envy, smooth flow of ideas

maybe a reason my mom let us
a fear we can't decide ourselves
oh! i never did consult her of any
i just went out there do it myself
i haven't been in big trouble yet
thanks mom, you taught me right
