Mother's Helper

In case you didn't know,
And so you will remember,
Just think of what you hold,
And here is something simple,

And, so you will remember,
I'm tying a string on your finger.
Here is something simple,
Of why you came to be there.

I'm tying a string on your finger,
And mind your mother,
Of why you came to be there,
Think why we took the bother.

And mind your mother,
When you look at this string,
Think why we took the bother,
And remember the medicine.

When you look at this string,
Just think of what you hold,
And remember the medicine,
In case you didn't know.


(author's note: I wrote this one based on a story from my childhood of my mom reminding me to pay for lunch tabs at school, and is inspired in part by humanitarian reliefs, and sending people into the areas that need it. I decided to share it today because of current events.)
