Day 247-Sipping Through a Straw

Good girlfriends smile
and hug when they meet.
They sit down with
water or a diet soda and,
while sipping through
a straw, they listen, laugh,
and share their love.
Over lunch or dinner,
they hear with their ears
and with their heart
to words spoken aloud
or left unsaid.
They can't solve all
problems, but they
promise to be there
to encourage, support,
uplift, and make strong.
The stories of life
are safe in their hands.
Much more than tasting
the food on their plates,
they taste the sweetness
of compassion and
connection.  No need
for dessert, their cup
is full with gratitude
healing, and courage
till they meet again.
