It was my birthday in August and my daughter gave me a beautiful Hallmark birthday card that I meant to share. I have been collecting poems for mothers and daughters that I can include on our www.legacyclubs.org web site. Here it is:
I‘m So Lucky to Have a Mother Who’s Also my Friend
When I was little,
I depended on you a lot.
Now, I still don’t know
what I’d do without you…
but for very different reasons.
You understand me so well
(even when I don’t want to admit it),
and you support the choices
I’ve made in my life.
I really enjoy the time
we spend together…
I think I’m lucky
that you’re as much a friend
as a mother to me.
You know I’ve made lots of mistakes in my life, but I can say I’ve done one thing right — I am close to my daughter. Thanks, Alesha. She made my birthday a very special day!
