For the Love of Mamaw and Papaw
By Lisa Noe

Mamaw and Papaw grew up the hard way
He worked in the mines put in a hard day

Mamaw had seven kids to live
And another to Heaven she’d give.

Then out broke the second World War
So pap volunteered to serve, he’d do more

He twice was shot, in a battle in France
He received a star and a purple heart at a dance.

The dance was for him, a hero who got to come home
He had been through Europe to roam.

Love, hope, and truth Is what they knew
So many they helped more than a few.
