Girlfriends

Friendship co-writes me,
delights me, excites me

Friends are people that we have chosen to share in our lives

They invoke your energy support your drive

They hold a special place in time

They not only impact your heart
but leave a lasting impression on your mind

Friends can listen to different kinds of music
but still groove to the same vibe

Friends can agree to disagree
and still love each other
with a sense of harmony urgency

Friends can believe in different religions
but be open enough to share in one God

Friends can have different color skin
but love each other looking at only the person within

I am glad that you are my friend.

]My nostrils flared the stanch greeted me with a vengeance it was overwhelming as I approached the door

Yet, I was compelled by his demeanor as he opened the door.

94 years old

Working feverishly to steady his stance

Home and alone the lonely forgotten senior citizen

Thought you were social services, meals on wheels, the mail man, they are the only ones that ring my door bell

Ain’t got no children and the government bout to cut out my entitlement,You know I am a veteran of World II

Ashamed and sadly amused I am in a hurry, I did not know what to think say or do

Offering to come back and help fill up whatever time we have left my new friend a lonely senior citizen
