My Daughter, My Friend Poem by Catherine Inscore

Sipping sodas during a movie
laughing loudly at something hilariously funny
eating pancakes quietly just us two
Girl time—our time

Holding each other and sobbing
hard
we made it through,
me and you…suffered it all
mother and daughter
friends till the end

now its your turn with her…
build a bond, learn the ropes
it will be tricky—
often sticky
tears will be shed
it will be worth it
in the end…
My daughter,
My friend
