Best Friends
The term – Best Friends –
brings to mind little girls
giggling behind their hands in church
or teenagers spending hours on the phone.
And although I do like to giggle with you
and spend hours on the phone,
our relationship is so much richer
than that of children.
You have become so important to my life.
Your wisdom guides me
when I am confused.
Your deep laugh delights
when I am happy.
Your love fills me
when I feel empty.
Your friendship sustains me
when I am lonely.
And so even though we are adults
I know that you
are my Best Friend.
