SBTP: A poem from Love Journey

Sharing a poem a month from our poetry book collection.

This month we will be sharing a poem from Love Journey.

and the story behind it.

A poem dedicated to my tribe.

I met them during my 20s when I was working at a semi-conductor company. We been through so much together. But when we reached our late 30s, we were hit by a devastating event. One of us was broken and in despair.

The rest of us rushed to her side. Tears shed. We hugged long and tight.

It is a defining moment in our friendship and I knew that these girls will be my ride or die. I have always known but this solidify everything.

I love them to no end and that is why this poem is about them and I shared with the world this moment because it is so precious to me.
