My Best Friend!!

Published by Family Friend Poems August 2008 with permission of the Author.

On the day I turned sixteen a day I'll never forget
My heart was filled with pain my life was filled with regret
A day that was suppose to be spent opening up gifts and blowing out candles
Turned into a day which no one could handle
God decided that your presence was much more needed in Heavens beautiful gates
When the doctor pulled the cord my legs began to shake
The machine counting down 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
you raised your body and took your last breath
In my heart, in my soul is where your memories will be kept
That day God took away my mother but also my best friend
And that day I felt like I wanted my life to end
When things went bad it was her love that I would seek
I was her baby, I was her little peach
I could never be afraid as long as she was around;
she taught me that fear was not an option
I'm glad that God sent you my way when it was time for adoption
From the first day you got me when I was 3 months old
You opened your heart and a new family began to unfold
Things could never go wrong as long as you were in my life
Now all I feel is pain, anger, and strife
I could talk to you about everything and my secrets you never told
You taught me to stand and always be bold
The best mother in the world you'll always be
A great best friend is what you'll always be to me

This is dedicated to my Mommy, Ms. Josephine Sparks Benford aka Nanna bka Josie
We Love U and We Miss O So Very Much
Heaven Just Got Happier!!!!
