GIRLFRIENDS

how special you are
dear friend of mine
with your heart so open
and genuinely kind

from lending an ear
when i needed a friend
to giving support
for a heart on the mend

time granted memories
of times that we shared
of dating and boyfriends
and parties we fared

though the years passed
the friendship remained
stronger than ever
to weather lifes bane

soon our new sessions
of coffee and tea
were the new socials
for you and for me

discussing our babies
husbands and lives
lending support
to ease the days strife

you will be missed
now that we live apart
but your friendship will be
forever safe in my heart
