MY BEST FRIEND (to my mum)

You were my fairy tale princess,
So much larger than life.
You were my angel and my witness
Through all my pain and strife.

At times you made me angry,
Great words I would proclaim
How someday you'd be sorry.
You were the one to blame.

But when I needed comforting
You always found the time.
Your words were more soothing
Than days of childhood sublime.
 
Now the distance holds us apart,
The boundaries have no end. 
I'll hold the memories in my heart. 
You're my mother, my best friend
