The Beauty Of Friendship Poem by Jim Yerman

3 girls grow up in a neighborhood…brought together by the hands of fate
too innocent to know back then the breadth of the friendship they'd create.

Three girls now 3 good friends…spending the best part of their childhood
laughing and running and playing together…through the streets of their neighborhood.

Three girls…now three adults…older…more mature
knowing no matter where life takes them…their friendship will endure.

Three girls…now older ladies…who, after marriages and motherhood,
rekindled the magic of that friendship they formed in childhood.

Three women…who, when they get together, somehow seem to glow
in the beauty of a friendship created all those years ago..

For is there anything more beautiful than 3 women enjoying the present…
appreciative of the friendship they've amassed
and looking forward to a future
held together by the past?
