Connection
I have a friend who smiles a lot – she prays a lot, too.
There could be a connection. And being more spiritual
than religious, my friend has the flexibility to be
giving, forgiving, fun and human. I like this about her.
My friend finds little romance in Hip-Hop, but
respects her daughter’s right to try. Old school to
the bone, she loves the O’Jays, Gladys, Marvin and Aretha.
My friend tells great dirty jokes and knows all the
best swear words. Only big, well proportioned men need
apply. She wants their kindness and devotion to astound her -
their prowess to exhaust and do her good like medicine.
I like this about her, too.
My friend rises early each day to run, to run, to run.
To be alone with herself and her higher power.
“Let not your heart be troubled.”
Words from an ancient tome she treasures for
its comfort. I like this about her as well.
I have a friend who smiles a lot.
She prays a lot, too.
There could be a connection.
