My husband has a girl friend,

She was there before me.

They almost had a romance,

She’s as pretty as can be—

At first, I guess, it bothered me,

But only just a bit,

I reminded myself I trusted him,

And when we finally met,

My husband’s girl friend welcomed me,

With such a sweet embrace,

I saw nothing but pure happiness,

Upon her pretty face.

Her love for him, platonic,

As though he was her brother—

She’d never hurt our wedding vows

Or take him as a lover.

My husband has a girl friend,

I can’t reiterate enough,

That my husband’s girl friend

Is someone that I love

How lucky then for me to be,

The wife of such a man,

Who embraces me wholeheartedly

While taking by the hand,

A feminine perspective

That is not one of my own,

These friendships are rare, and special,

Too seldom are they shown.
