T.A. Skyles-Theoklapoet Poet Couplet

"my Best Friend"

My best friend was always there.
She gave me her love and taught me to share.

She gave me her kisses when I was hurt.
She gave me hugs when I fell in the dirt.

She taught me to ride a bike and climb a tree.
And be the person she wanted me to be.

She  taught me to forgive and how to pray.
She gave me her looks and taught me her way.

My mother was my best friend.
In heaven my love I'll send.

A best friend is like no other.
My best friend is my mother.
                 Teresa Skyles
