My Mother My Friend
We bonded when you heard my heartbeat
It went pitter patter ever so sweet
You let out a giggle whenever I'd kick
You dreaded the mornings I made you sick
9 months later and you had to think
Am I going to get the blues or pinks
September first came with a bundle of joy -
A little baby girl
To whirl and twirl
Day by day you watched me grow
A little bit taller from head to toe
You were there when I needed to cry
You were there to help me without a sigh
Before you knew it - it was that day
I became an adult and went my own way
I know I didn't listen very well
I hid away in my little shell
But, please, believe me when I tell you -
I love you and I'd be lost without you
Because of YOU I've made it this far
Simply because of your love and care
I feel your pain as if it was my own
My tears for you inside have grown
I'd do anything to take the pain away
But all I can do is pray
That you'll have the strength for another day
And you lovely smile is here to stay
If the clouds move in on you
Just remember - one plus one is two -
That means - Me and You -
You are My Mother and My Friend
