Being Best Friends
You wish me joy
when others caution, 'Careful!'
You want for me
the best life has to give.
Your arms are always welcoming
for comfort;
when I'm slack
you automatically forgive.
As kids...
you didn't care I was a have-not;
you shared all that you had
and went without.
Old ladies now,
we reminisce and giggle;
isn't that
what being best friends is about?
For Kay,
best friends since 1955
and forever.
We had a girl's club,
called it the 'cat club'
and were supposed
to wear a cat mask.
