You Were My Mother and My Friend You were my mother and my friend, Which was unusual . Somehow our characters still blend: Your wisdom and my will . I turned, and you were there for me; I spoke, you understood. I felt cared for, but also free; You loved, and I was good. I'm fortunate that I was born To someone just like you; I love you still. Though you are gone, you live in what I do. Author Unknown
