Mother Fletcher

By: Tripp Shertenlieb

Full-grown Harlem lady

Eyes as black as night

If caught in a situation

Her decision would be right

Full-grown Harlem lady

Welcomes every child

If one makes a wrong decision

They will be reconciled

Full-grown Harlem lady

Quiet as a mouse

Please invite me over

To your little lonely house

Full-grown Harlem lady

Happy as can be

You now have cleared my vision

This work, I now can see

Full-grown Harlem lady

Expecting nothing much

Couldn’t show up to her house

She’ll make some sweaters and such

Full-grown Harlem lady

With a very big heart

If you find a new perspective

She has done her part
