Ode to my best friend

 

Thanks for being my mum

And thanks for being my friend,

Thanks for all the listening

That must have driven you ‘round the bend!

 

The good advice you’ve given

Has stuck firmly in my mind.

But most of all my thoughts have turned

To how you’ve been so kind.

 

It’s my turn now for happiness

Hopefully, after these few years,

Although it’ll take some months

And lots of hopes and fears.

 

As long as I have my mum around

To give me moral support

An ear to bend and love for me

And room in your mind for thought.

 

So just another big thank you,

For understanding, you see.

And if the shoes’ ever on the other foot

You know you have a friend in me.
