My Best Friend

If you have a best friend
Or maybe two or three
That is great for you but my best friend
Is just best friends with me.
She will do anything I ask her
She could be like my house maid
But this best friend is always there
When I am lonely or afraid.

She works herself so hard
So hard to the bone
And if you did not know you would say
Her hands were rough as stone.

If I have a problem
Instead of crying out
She will be right by my side to talk
While I moan and pout.

Her face is the glowing sun
When I am sad or down
Her personality will meet the taste
Of anyone with a frown.

Her soft voice
It sounds like music
Wear perfume
She will hardly use it.

She is so many things
Beautiful
Bubbly
Brave
And I would never treat her
Like she was my personal slave

She is my best friend
Unlike any other
And if you have not guessed yet
My best friend is my mother.
