Girlfriends. . .

Some are part of your life for years

Taking a special place early on in our hearts

A friendship like this grows over time like a beautiful flower in the garden

Girlfriends. . .

Sometimes come into our lives very unexpectedly

Like a beautifully wrapped gift. . . because that's what girlfriends are, a gift to love and cherish

Girlfriends. . .

Are sometimes family, and sometimes not

But, it does not matter because in our heart it's hard to distinguish between the two

Girlfriends. . .

Share secrets, dreams and hopes

Never judging, but rather lifting each up with love and laughter

Girlfriends. . .

Are always there when you need them the most

Ahhh. . . Girlfriends, so special
