My Best Friend, My Mother

"This woman as beautiful as can be

She's always been there for me.

Yeah, she's my mother, my best friend too.

Without her in my life, I wouldn't know what to do.

Her heart made of gold, giving love so freely,

Can't be bought or sold.

No matter who you are or what you do,

She's there to listen and to help you through.

Can't express how great she is to me.

Without her I don't know where I would be.

No one like her, my best friend, my mother.

I love you Mom."
