Girlfriends
A woman's friends,
they are among her most cherished people.
They all top the list.
They know her innermost thoughts
the most embarrassing confessions
and her deepest desires.
She confides whole heartedly
the things she feels unable
to discuss elsewhere.
Sometimes, it only takes a word
or a look between them
to bring back a fond memory,
their minds tuned together
as in telepathy
both running down the same path
side by side
as best friends should be.
In the circle of friends
there is no competition.
They are all equal
heart and soul
all there for one another.
They lean on, support,
laugh, share, and cry
for each other.
Her girlfriends are
always in her heart.
