A Girlfriends Creed
Is the true unspoken Gospel of Sistah Hood
the jump through hoops of fire
just to lift a Sistah up
A your business is safe with me
kind of connection
with a Sistah Friend who believes in your dreams
sometimes before you believe them yourself
Prayer is essential
grudges not approved
Girl, IÆll go the distance
and a mile for you
But above all
IÆll be a dry shoulder to cry on
even though I told you so
bona fide friend.
