My best friend is my daughter.
We have been through thick and thin.
I have carried her, she has carried me.
We know who to turn to in the end.

There have been trying times on both sides.
And we have been separated by anger.
We are surly in hell, for we hurt so
when we are apart.

But nothing can part us for long.
No misunderstanding, nothing anyone can say,
can destroy our bond of love and respect.
We will always come back to us.

My daughter has been blessed with compassion and forgiveness.
Not just your everyday forgiveness but one that surprises me daily.
she has a gentle nature and can be hurt easily with words.
I know, for I have been guilty in that.

It has taken me a long time to learn
to use the right words, but my love for her
keeps me on my toes.

What I am saying is, she always forgives me
and tries to teach me to do the same.
She has been strong, when I couldn’t be.
and kept us together always.

She will always be my little girl
with the big green eyes.
My love for her grows each day.
and I pray that I have given her enough
to make it someday without me.
But till then, we are together
Me and my best friend, Sam
