Cherly Watkins

A woman that had the privilege of working with in my present career. The poem I've posted by her was written as a tribute to her mother.

"My Mother My Friend" by Cheryl Watkins
Often times we forget how fast life can pass us by
We often wonder why we out grow so many things,
not understanding what they all mean
Often we look back over the good old years,
how we laughed and shared sadness and tears
You taught me life's most precious things
and how to make the best of things.
Your strength taught me very well,
keeping God first, I would never fail.
My Mother, I'm thankful for you.
You're my special gift God gave to me.
My Friend, yes, you are my bright and shining star.
My Mother, My Friend
