There is no other bond
like connection among women,
that shares and provides,
that returns all that is given.
My friends lift me higher
when I cannot go on,
and tend to my lesions
‘til sundown meets dawn.
It was women who listened
when my meek voice wavered,
basking in patience,
my thoughts were still savored.
It was ladies who cradled
my dear heart so closely,
and taught me to be gentle
when the world taunted, morosely.
My friends are the reason
my standards stay high.
They take care of each other,
and they push me to try.
They know what you need
Before you even need it.
Always met with compassion,
each emotion is heeded.
