You were my mother and my friend, <br />Which was unusual. <br />Somehow our characters still blend: <br />Your wisdom and my will. <br />I turned, and you were there for me; <br />I spoke, you understood. <br />I felt cared for, but also free; <br />You loved, and I was good. <br /> <br />I'm fortunate that I was born <br />To someone just like you; <br />I love you still. Though you are gone, <br />You live in what I do<br /><br />Alii Cat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/yu-were-mi-mother-n-mi-friend/
