For the Ladies...

There is nothing like a friend
you can trust with secrets
and talk for hours without
noticing the time

A friend who will tell you
when she thinks you're being
crazy or stupid or courageous
or that you have something to
be proud of and shouldn't forget

There is nothing so inspirational
as a friend who is smarter than you
stronger than you
calmer and braver and more ambitious
than you because she gives you hope
such things are possible and
within your reach as well

To all my ladies who help me survive
who keep me sane
who remind me to be kinder to myself
and to strive for authenticity
those far away and those close by
thank you
thank you
thank you.
