"And then she [Mama] prayed
the strangest prayer ever said:
"I wanna thank You Lord,
for noisy
children and
slamming
doors,
and clothes scattered all over the
floor,
my husband workin' all the
time,
draggin' in dead tired
at
night,
my never
ending messy kitchen
and
dirty
dishes."
We all got real still and quiet,
And daddy asked "Honey, you alright?"
She said, "Dear, ain't nothing wrong,
noisy kids are happy kids,
and slamming doors just means we live
in a warm and loving home.
Your long hours and those dishes in the sink
means a job and enough to eat."
- Scotty McCreery "Dirty Dishes"
Take
these words into consideration if this reminds you of your
home at all be greatful for what you have just like Mama and never
take what you have forgranted.
