There are days
I feel so desperately alone
Being single
Feels like carrying a thousand pounds in my heart
But than
I spend an evening
With one of my "brothers"
(what I call my close guy friends)
And I feel blessed
Blessed because although I don't have a boyfriend
Or fiance
Or husband
I have my brothers
Boyfriends may come and go
Fiance's may leave you
Husbands may one day abandon you
But brothers
You may fight with them
And argue
But in the end
They will always be your brother
Your friend
And I have many brothers
Not born of my mother
And for that
I am blessed
