DIFFERENCES

Kind to my lady friends
As frustration for us begins
In trying to make one from two
With the men as Robert, Scott and you

Or even my son Noah, or there's Josh
We are women friends and oh my gosh
The situations there if you're a woman
With a man whos bonding's not coming

The way you want it to
The way their silence can haunt you
At times you have to let it go
To love the men you know

As they're a different breed
Not allowing need
To slip into their vocabulary
Then they're scary

Not expressing emotion
'Till another's devotion
Might take you down
Just to be around

The kind of men
Who begin
A date with all their attention
Did I mention

That's the place a woman wants to go
When she feels low
As she wants to put only God above you
While we're different, we do still love you.
