~ My
Mother,
My
Friend
~
Mama,
I
realize
more
and
more
As I
walk
down
this
life's
trail
That
without
you
always
there
Many
times
I
would
have
failed
Always
right
by
my
side
You
have
been
there
Giving
to
me
encouragement
With
ultimate
love
and
care
I
know
I
haven't
always
pleased
you
In
some
things
I
endeavored
to
do
Even
though
you
may
not
have
approved
You
never
left
my
side,
because
that
is
not
you
You
have
given
me
strength
and
guidance
To
carry
on
always
Even
when
I
have
been
sad
You
have
brought
laughter
to
my
days
We
laugh
and
talk,
kid
and
joke
Talking
on
the
phone
all
through
the
day
One
of
the
many
traits
I
inherited
from
you
Is
that
we
can
always
find
things
to
say
I am
so
very
blessed
to
have
you
As
my
Mother
and
friend
Though
I
may
not
say
it
enough
My
unending
love
to
you
I
will
always
send
Ethel
