She Made Room

This song is a tribute to my mom Cyndee Burkett. She taught me everything I know about how to treat others. There is no one with a bigger heart on this planet. I will forever strive to demonstrate compassion the way she does, though her tiny little shoes are somehow impossible to fill. Lyrics below. Song on Suno; art on Gencraft; Video Editing on Clipchamp; assistance from Lyra (my ChatGPT AI.) She Made Room We started out in a barn for a home. One, two children, a giant yard to roam. Next was our very own land to own, acres to explore, find shell & bone. Only had one room, like a small dorm, all slept in one bed to keep us warm. She transformed a shell room by room. Three, four children, a wish & a broom, memory and dream, curtain and paint. She even let us help decorate. She created a place we could thrive; baby number five could finally arrive. Whether grown in her womb or adopted in a courtroom, brought home like a stray, or only stayed with us for a day, we were never treated equally, instead needs met individually. The weird kid with the bug collection might need time for reflection. The one bouncing off the walls might need to go kick some balls. No two people are the same; not everyone likes to play in the rain. [Chorus] She made room. For voices. For questions. For the mess. For the noise. For truth. For confessions. She made room. At the table. In her heart. For the pain. For the chaos. For love. For a start. She made room. Baseball, basketball, football, track, every practice, meet, there and back. Gymnastics, soccer, volleyball, dance, every tournament, match, paid in advance. The games, performances, fees and dues, costumes, support, whether we win or lose. Having to run the concession stand, fund raisers, PTA, where does it end? Band, choir, trumpet, flute, tuba, percussion, new marching shoes. Private lessons, recitals, need a ride late. How did she manage so much on her plate? She helped with things no one thanked her for, spirit weeks, book fairs, class parties and more. We did plays, musicals, graduations, dances. She always encouraged us to take those chances. And when one of us knew something was unfair, when the world expected silence, or didn’t care, she stood up for us, said, “I trust my daughter.” She focused on the bridge, not the water. Standing up to authority and speaking truth was encouraged despite disapproval of youth. We were taught how to think, not just rote, to think for ourselves, not just quote. [Chorus-See above] Somehow, she fed all of us each day, just pennies, no shortcuts, she found a way. Real food from gardens, rabbit and deer; we never went hungry year after year. She could recreate flavor from memory. No internet, simply her and her recipe. No dishwasher, every dish washed by hand. No microwaves, kids today just don’t understand. She sometimes baked in a wood-fire oven if the power was out and we needed a dozen cookies, or bread, or muffins as a treat. Always room for others; take a seat. She taught us to notice those in need, the kittens, the hungry, never act with greed. She opened her arms to welcome people and pets, never rationed compassion but let it spread. We found a kitten once, walking to Sunday School covered in fleas, nearly gone, we learned a rule— to help when we can, provide food and shelter. Nourishing others is the best heart-melter. Now, a lifetime of animals nursed back to health has taught each of us how to share our wealth. What little we have can always be multiplied. If we step out in obedience, God will provide. [Chorus-See above] Some of us came with more than expected, extra worry, sleepless nights, having been neglected, some children she fostered were hungry or afraid, bodies bruised and broken or didn’t know how to play. Surgeries, casts, hospital rooms, conditions, hours of appointments with different physicians. Therapy schedules, ambulance rides, the fear of sitting at your child’s bedside. No way to prepare for the storm that is trauma, but she handled it with grace as the chosen mama. She faced every challenge knowing love would find a way, and she leads by that example to this very day. [Chorus-See above]
