About the Poem

My Best Friend is a poem about the best friend a person could ever ask for. When I was having a real battle in my life, he entered in like an angel sent from heaven.

My Best Friend

by Sheri Goodwin

I'm not sure when it happened
But I'm very glad it did
You came into my life when
I really needed a friend

The more I get to know you
The more I know myself
And this is why I'm thankful
For you are just yourself

You and I are different
And in many ways the same
Your good ear, compassionate heart
Will always find you fame

I promise to always be here
Forever and to the end
You are the true definition of
My Very Best Friend!

Wanda

My name is Wanda, and I am a CNA. I was refered by my Mother-in-law, to sit with an elderly lady. I had never thought of doin' this, 'cause I worked at a Nursing Home and before that at a Factory. But, I called her and set up an appointment to meet with her. I met her and just loved her from the start! So, I took the job. I go to her house 5 days per week. I cook her breakfast, clean house, do laundry, run errands, give her meds and a shot daily. (All in 2 hours per day) Also, 'cause I live in the same town as she does, I go by Sat. and Sun. to make sure she has her meds and shot. I now work at the local hospital, but I still go by every morning to take care of my Sweet 'Lil' Lady on a daily basis. I just love her and feel like she is family. And I know that she feels the same 'bout me. When I get there of the morning, she greets me when, (breakfast is done and can smell the coffee) with a, "Good Morning, Baby"!(Which I'm in my 40's!) I feel blessed that she is in my life and had made her a special craft project, so, I was lookin' for a poem to go along with. When I came across this, I just about cried, 'cause it touched me so! So, I'm commendin' U Sheri for an outstanding poem which very much touched my heart! Thank-you, Wanda from Tennessee!
