There are many women in my life that have helped shape who I am today. Aunts, cousins, grandmothers, and friends. These women have helped me in hard times and celebrated with me at happy times. No one will ever take the place of a mom. My momma is most definitely my best friend. I may not have realized this when I was growing up and lived at home, but now that I live 426 miles away from her I know that she really is my best friend. (I love my best girls, but they are not my momma.)
Sometimes it has been hard being so far away from her. There are still times that all a girl wants to do is hug her momma. I love when I do see her and I get to hug her.
I wrote this poem to send to my mom this year along with the card I got her.
A mother’s love is a beautiful thing.
A mother is a child’s first friend.
Love from a mother has no end.
A child’s love for a mother has no end.
A mother is a child’s first friend.
All the happy moments
in a child’s life
a mother is there.
All the bad moments
in a child’s life
a mother is there.
A mother is there through it all.
A mother’s love is a beautiful thing.
Happy Mother’s Day Momma! I love you more than a simple card, poem, or blog past can express. You are and always will be my best friend. My first friend. Thank you for everything you have ever done and will continue to do for me.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful women in my life. Thank you for helping me to become the woman I am today.
