My Mama was A Monster

What’s the matter she asked him, as she turned down his sheets

Mommy, please check under the bed for monsters for me?

Baby, don’t worry there’s nothing there underneath

But I promise to check before you go to sleep?

What’s the matter she asked, as she turned on the faucet

Mommy, please check for ghosts hiding inside my closet

Oh sweetie, please don’t let yourself get so upset

I swept your closet out last night or did you forget?

She climbed into bed and she whispered her prayers

Convinced those weren’t footsteps outside on the stairs

There are so many things that can make a mind scared

But no need to worry my darlings cause your mommy is here

She chased off the goblins, worked hard to keep her house clean

Protecting her children, like a well oiled machine

She survived her childhood by being in charge

Rumors say they’re still looking for that monster at large

No need to be afraid loves, I only need to be scarier

The love for my kids is all we need as a barrier
