Nestled in you bosom
Not knowing what love is
Growing closer every moment
A bond that will forever exist
Toddling around the house
Unaware of darkened dangers
Knowing that I am protected
For your love is my safety net
Grade school came much too soon
For loving you was all I knew
Unprepared to leave your side
Not wanting to learn the a b c's in life
Hormones raged through the years
Leaving me to hate you when friends were near
Loving those secret moments we shared
Oblivious that I was still being prepared
Adulthood came much too soon
Still I manage to cling to you
Children of my own I do love
Praying to be half as good as you was
Through the cycles and different stages
Your love and belief never faded
When all seemed lost in teenage years
You held me up in solemn prayer
My love for you never ceased
No matter what others believed
Not only my mother throughout this life
But always my best friend standing by my side
