girls i love

these are my neighbors

these are my friends

just look at those smiles

their eyes

tell you

of their goodness


you are looking at
competitive
industrious
quick wit
compassionate
card counters
generous
athletic
faith filled
accomplished
women


each one
dear
smart
fun
trying
kind


these girls have
 many times
served and blessed me and mine

you are looking at angels


(and a birthday girl!)
