In the words of Shirley C “I Remember Mama and the Love that she gave.”

My Mother,  3 cousins. my sister, my brother and me ( Love My Family.)

My mama would sang this song to us, when we were little:

“All the little birds on JayBird Street, Love to hear the birds go

tweet-tweet tweet, Rockin Robin, Rock-rock-rock', Rockin' robin. 

Mama in the kitchen burning that Rice, Daddies in the pool house

throwing that dice, “All the little birds on JayBird Street, Love to hear the

birds go tweet-tweet-tweet, Rockin Robin, Rock-rock-rock', Rockin' robin. 

Brother in the Jail house raising heck, and sisters in the tree house

showing her fruit cocktail! Rockin Robin, Rock-rock-rock.  

(My mother's family song was inspired by Michael Jackson’s Rockin Robin.”

Memory from childhood on Jay Street, in Elmira, NY 14901.

   

                                     Rest In Peace, Mom, Thank you for wisdom and Love!
