It worries me when Mama starts paying cash for thangs.

I wonder what's happened to her debit card.

And I wonder where her stash is comin from.

But she seems so happy these days,

And full of energy,

So I hate to ask

And see that smile disappear

From her sweet face.

So I'll just nod and smile a lot

And hope she doesn't see

Me raising my eyebrows as I turn away.

I hope she only sees the hope I have for her,

That everything's ok.
