My Friends Became Goddesses

The women
I know now
are all very 
beautiful
kind, gentle, 
intelligent
and brave,
but also
very tough.

I am glad
that I can 
always count 
on them to
gently
let me know
when I am
not being kind 
to my own
mind enough.

Holding 
one another
accountable
is our shared
distinct way
of showing 
the depths 
and the
intensity
of our love.
