Everything You Were To Me Poem by mona martinez

you were my rock,
my best friend,
not a day go by,
that i don't think of you,
as days continue to pass,
i still have good memories,
of all of the fun times,
we had together,
always laughing, playing and joking around,
sometimes i miss those days,
but it's ok,
i know you watching from above,
with a smile on your face,
cheering me on every day of the week,
you were my mother,
it don't get no better than that,
you were a great mom,
one who was always there when i needed you,
one to put me back in my place,
when i was roaming a little free,
you were somebody who understands me,
and did your best to make sure i was happy,
what more could i had ask for?
you were everything and more,
you fought my battles,
when i was too afraid to fight them,
you raised me be a strong proud woman,
and to fight for what i believe in,
it no wonder ppl get mad at my stuborness,
they can't handle it,
when a girl has a mind of her own,
but even though you are not here,
i know everyday you are walking beside me,
making sure i am safe on my jorney through life.
