Mother

When I need a friend,
you are my best.
When I need a shoulder to cry on,
yours is always welcoming.
When I am in trouble,
you are there to get me out.
When I don't know what decision to make,
you show me the right one.
When I am broken-hearted,
you help put it back together again.
When there are dark clouds over me,
you pull me from under them.
When I see no way out,
You help lead me.
So, I say to you now...
If ever you need me, 
I will be there all I can be.
For you are my mother,
and I love you!
