They are three, the girls

young, powerful

shimmering in confidence

oozing a certain oomph

each an expert

each holding a promise

shaking  heads vigorously

gesturing almost wildly

talking in excited tones

eyes  full of dreams

girls so lady-like.

In the intercices of the dreams

are hidden certain fears

trepidation

itching self-doubt

fear of fighting pre-conceived notions

of uninvited attention, ridicule,desertion

of failing, of winning, of then what?

and a powerful deep deep assertion of the self

rooting for self-happiness.

It’s a difficult world

but these three will see it through

their ways will be different

but friends they remain

and success meets them at every turn.

Together life is more beautiful.
