A Girls Best Friend
A Girl's Best Friend
is her Mother
Because
she is always there for you
like a Beacon
Shedding love and understanding
on every
stage of your life
Because
She knows you at six,
all smiles and Giggles,
unencumbered by life's trials
(except the boy down the street
who pulls your hair)
She appreciates the silly
as well as the Sublimes
Because
she knows you at Thirteen,
finding you emerging self in the
Mirror, Awkward and unsure.
She knows the
excitement of a First Kiss,
the Gentle sweetness
of First Love.,
the devastation,
of a broken heart
Because
she celebrates our
strength and independence
as we greet the challenges
of adulthood, and graciously
considers our counsel
when we decided it time that we
begin advisisng her ...
Because
she knows the ineffable
joy of bringing forth a new life
with all the accompanying
anxiety and uncertainty.
How grateful we are
to have her guidance,
how grateful to
have had her example...
Because
she will stand in the kitchen
with a Gallon of Ice Cream
and two spoons
listening into the small
hours of the night
as we question our own life's
decisions and choices
A Girls Best Friend
will always be her Mother
Because
she understands our doubts;
because she shares our
secret Dreams.
and because it is her
sustaining and unfailing belief
that inspire us to
Achieve them
