My Mother, My Best Friend - a Mother's Day Poem from a Daughter

You're not just my Mother
you're my best friend
I cherish every moment
we spend together
laughing and crying
through the good times
and the bad
whether we're just
watching a movie
or you're holding me
while I cry
telling me it'll be all right
it all means so much to me
you've always loved me
unconditionally
and encouraged me
to do the best with my life
you've been by my side
through every victory
and every heartache
you're always there
when I need you most
and I am so grateful
to have a Mom like you.
