My mother my friend

A distant companion as life took its turn in the spiraling roads

My life’s teacher my inspiration my advisor

I’ve loved you hated you respected you and disrespected you

I’ve praised you, I’ve trashed you,

I’ve looked up to and down to you,

So many different emotions, on different levels;

We’ve gone through so much on our life’s journey together.

Mother, daughter, friend and foe,

Good and bad, heavenly and hellish;

You took me into your loving arms,

When no one else would even dare,

You taught me right from wrong,

You gave me guidance, hope, faith,

No words in this world, I can say

Will ever repay you for all the things,

You’ve done for up until this very day!

I love you, I love you, I love you
