they laugh with you, cry with you, encourage you...
but they also can slap you down when you get too high and mighty,
just enough to keep you grounded...
they will also tell you if your outfit is butt ugly...
just so you don't go out in public like that...
they say the things that your spouse and kids would never dare say...
and the best thing about girlfriends is that they support you...
and they remember you in prayer daily...
even when your socks don't match...
