My Mother, My Friend by libran88

Who was there when I burst out my first cry, my Mother
Who was there when I uttered my first word, my Mother
Who was there when I took my first step, my Mother
Who was there when I had my first fall and helped me up, my Mother
Who was always there for me while growing up, my Mother
Who was there to tell me what was right from wrong, my Mother
Who was there when I first fell in love, my Mother
Who was there to console me when things got rough, my Mother
Who was there to guide me through my journey in life, my Mother
Who is always here for me when no one seems to care, my Mother
'Lord, bless this wonderful Woman, my Friend and my Mother
For she does her best to live her life in the likes of Your Own Mother.'

A very endearing poem dedicated to your Mum.  The unconditional love of a mother is something that all of us can relate to.  Kudos, libran88!

Possum, thank you for taking the time to read my poem.  I wanted to honour my Mother for her unconditional love, not only for "Mother's Day" but for always.

Libran I really enjoyed this piece, like possum said before me we all love our mothers and I think everyone can relate to this piece. I love poetry when it's GOOD otherwise I can get bored, (I know it isn't your style but I really like ted hughs). On the other hand two lines to me, in my own personal opinion didn't sit just right, maybe a little to long. But again that's just me. Otherwise I thought it was brilliant and very touching.

Thank you tlparsons for your comment.  If I could remind you, this poem is about my own life so the sequence of the story happened in that order.   I wrote this poem to honour my Dear Mother for her unconditional love for me.  Also, I like writing in this style because I do not want the readers to check their Dictionary everytime they read an article.  Remember, K.I.S.S.
