Universal Sisterhood

The world can sputter around us, deject and confound us topple us up one side and right down the other but I'll still be me and you'll still be you. The people we love can abhor us, can coddle too much or ignore us verbalize truths which would be best if kept hidden but I'll always know the deep value in you. Our bodies can start to waylay us twist cripple, and scold us turn chestnut hair grey and blond locks to sand but I will still see the youth in you. Our minds can confuse us turn limp and sidetrack us replay our old memories like black and white films but I'll never forget the real image of you. Death may betray us, may break up and dismay us take one of us first to the deepest of sleeps but I'll be waiting one way or another, and I'm guessing, that you will be too.
