She is the best friend that I have,
She's always there for me.
She is the perfect model of what
All good friends should be.
She always has a listening ear
And never any judgment.
Then, always when I need it most,
She has a compliment.
When my life is filled with doubt,
She helps me look beyond
The problems that I have today,
And helps until their gone.
There were a few times in the past,
I felt I had betrayed
Our one on one relationship
With choices I had made.
I know sometimes I hurt her,
But she never let it known.
Her understanding, gentle heart,
Is why our friendship's grown.
Unselfish in her attitude,
Unselfish with her time.
Unselfish in her love for me,
This special friend of mine.
Many friends have come and gone,
But this one always stays.
I guess she's learned to overcome
My temperamental ways.
She always makes me feel secure,
When she is by my side.
I know whatever bothers me,
In her I can confide.
I love the time we spend together,
Strengthening our bond.
Oh, by the way, this friend of mine,
Happens to be my MOM!
