Chocolate Pie

Looking back over the years So many things come to mind Going home to see my folks The delicious meal I’d always find For mom was truly the best cook Of anyone that I’ve known Starting when I was a child And long after I was grown My memories of the cotton field The bright cotton bolls in the sun Enjoying the old farmstead With years of work and fun Mom’s large vegetable garden Full of sweet tender crops Was one of my favorite places Whenever I would stop But you know, there’s one thing That always would catch my eye Right beside one of coconut Was a delicious chocolate pie!
