My Friend The Rose Poem by Ms Thang

My Friend The Rose



I've watched you blossom and I've watched you bloom.
I've seen a new inner beauty resonate from you.
You've grown and matured so much in the last three years.
Every time I think about it, it brings me to tears.
I look back at the bad relationships and guys who let you down.
The ones who lied and cheated and said they'd always be around.
You've been raising your son all by yourself.
Feeding him and clothing him without any help.
I've been where you're at. I feel your pain.
After hearing 'mommy' all day you wanna change your name.
You feel frustrated some days tryin to provide.
Feeling so alone, defeated and helpless inside.
Babygirl, I'm so proud of the woman you've become,
Of all the changes you've made and all that you've done.
You've become the parent to him that we never had.
More consistent than either your mom or your dad.
You don't run the streets or hit up the club.
You've held down home and filled it with love,
Supporting not just your son but your family too.
Every time I think about it I'm amazed by you.
As your son gets older he'll look back at what you did,
How you worked full time by yourself while raising a kid.
You never ran out of kisses or pushed him aside.
You picked him up when he fell and held him as he cried.
Everything you do is for the benefit of family,
Trying your best to give him everything he needs.
You're a woman to look up to, one to be proud of,
Proud of what you let go and all that you've done.
You have a house and a home for him to grow up in.
As he gets older he'll look back at all you did.
He'll thank you for your sacrifice.
And when it's time for him to find a wife,
She'll be just like you - just like his mom,
The one who always encouraged him to keep keepin on.
You've rid yourself of all the drama,
Finding your worth in bein his momma.
Close to ten years ago God blessed me with you,
Because he knew all of the things we'd go through.
We met in that chat room back in the day on AOL.
And the friendship we've built only time would tell.
You've been my best friend without any conditions,
Loving me completely without any restrictions.
So my very best friend please allow me to say,
How incredibly proud I am of you every single day.
