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

This reminds me so much of my mother and her best friend, growing older and wiser as old friends do, together... I enjoyed the form his piece takes, too. Nice!

[Lydia Shutter]

Your mom is a lucky lady to have such a friend. Thanks for the review, Rita. Lydi**

[Frieda P]

Knows where all the skeletons are buried and probably helped to bury some of those too!....I adore this Lydi, I lost my best friend Dina from grade school last January and no one could ever replace what we had together, this one really touched my heart. I bet Lil' Lydi was spunky too....

[Lydia Shutter]

I am so sorry you lost your best friend, Frieda. How sad for you. Yes, she did help me bury some of those skeletons....and I sure was spunky! :) thank you for the review. Lydi**

[Sheila Kline]

Oh, I just adore this Lydi!!! This is indeed the most special friend - a forever friend!! May she always be by your side, as you are hers!! There are so many memories in each of our silver stands!!
...........And, the drawing is precious!!!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, Sheila. As long as she and I are on this earth, we will be together, no doubt about it. The tag with my name was made for me when I worked in an advertising agency. the artists were wonderful to me. I appreciate your review. Lydi**

[Pryde Foltz]

I do hope there is a dimension where all those splendid dreams are a reality. This write spoke to me.

[Lydia Shutter]

I'm so pleased it did, Pryde....thank you for telling me. Lydi**

"our little girl dreams
will continue to prevail"

Oh, I hope so...thank you for this boost of assurance, Lydi! Lovely words indeed...and " lil Lydi" looks adorable!

[Lydia Shutter]

That "tag" was made by an artist I worked with in the advertising agency. I always kept it. Just thought she was so cute. Thanks for the review, Kelly. Dreams do live on if we nourish and feed them. Lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

This I believe, with all my heart! ; )

[David Scott]

I bet those dreams are vivid and in Technicolor!
Yes, if we never stop dreaming then those dreams do prevail.
I hope your skeletons don't get too lonely in the closet. Ha.
Playful, youthful, and as lovely as the poet who penned the write.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, David....nah, we visit the skeletons now and then to make sure they are not lonely! :) Lydi**

[Corset]

"Friends are family you choose for yourself" I think this is true absolutely, and I loved this write because it reminds me of all the people I loved and still love as family, even though they maybe far away or I may never speak with them again, they formed who we are now...and this reminds me of that.

[Lydia Shutter]

You are so right. People with whom we share a history ARE family....and even if we have not seen them in a long time, we can always pick up where we left off. Thanks for this lovely review. Lydi**

[Corset]

The thought brings a smile, thank you Lydi.

[Sami Khalil]

Your heart is young along with your passion for life and friendship that grows with us and our dreams that will eventually prevail.
The painting along with the poem are marvelous...:)

[Lydia Shutter]
