little girl dreams

best friends just understand

we learned with each wrinkle
acquired skills with each silver hair
sharing golden secrets through the years
                      either whispered
                             or with a smile

                                across a crowded room
        quite satisfying
yet we always knew
                                     try as we might to stop it
time would pass
                          and eventually
we would reap what we sowed
                still we smile
knowing somehow
              our little girl dreams
                       will continue to prevail

A clever girly poem, but my feminine side does concur !

Smiling here...thank you, Tom. Lydi**

this sounds a little suspicious, bordering cunning movements
well planned just like a woman. I loved it

[Lydia Shutter]

Nothing sinister in my ink....but it's all in what the reader brings to the party. Thanks for the review, Ron. Lydi**

What a lovely write to honor a friendship. Nothing beats having that kind of bond, to be able to share secrets and stories, good and bad and have someone to entrust them with. Very sweet read Lydi.
