My Friend
I wrote this poem for Mom on Mother's Day in 1998 and I think it says how I feel very well...
My Friend
When I was little... really small.
You were there to take care of it all.
My tummy hurt, I skinned my knee.
I always knew what a comfort you'd be.
I got into trouble but you understood.
You knew that I did the best I could.
I’d get hurt, my heart got broken.
I knew you loved me without being spoken.
I got older and up I grew.
Amd now I have a child, too.
I hope that I can teach him what you taught me.
Just be the best that you can be.
You do so much for me, I love you a lot!
I’m so glad I’ve got the Mom I’ve got!
Today is Your day and I want it said.
I’m glad you’re my mother but more importantly MY FRIEND!!!
I love you, Mom!!!
