Facts Of Life Poem by Ali Adel

High school can't do it
College won't do it
There is nothing in the power of God as we know him that can

Our friendship overrules the Heavens
Angels cloaked in white and gold will never obtain any power greater
Than us

I believe
With every bit of my soul and body
That if we care enough about this sisterhood
Then dammit we will stomp our foot,
Hold our heads high,
Stare into the eyes of doubters,
And declare this bond forever-lasting!

So walk with me, friends
Not ahead, nor behind
But by my side
Down this path of life

And smile, no, laugh
With great joy
At this fact
This exquisite fact
