Be who you are she said,
as she looked me in the eyes.
She told me not to worry,
not to be afraid to cry.
She touched my face gently,
and whispered "live and dream",
"don't let others bring you down,"
"you've got to fight for every dream!"
What an inspiration,
a true friend, in a world of fake.
An everlasting friendship,
forgetting all that hurt us,
forgiving all mistakes.
She is all that I wish I could be,
and I will never find another.
my life I owe to her,
my dearest friend -
*my mother.
