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
