Every Woman Should Have

...One old love she can imagine
going back too...
And
One who reminds her just
how far she has come...

... enough money within her
control to move out and
rent a place of her own
even if she never wants
to or needs to....

... something perfect to wear if
the employer or date of her dreams
wants to see her in an hour...

... a youth she's content
to leave behind....

... a past juicy enough that
she's looking forward to retelling
in her old age ....

.... a set of screwdrivers, a
cordless drill, and a
Black lace bra...

... one friend who always makes her laugh
and one who lets her cry........

... a good piece of furniture
not previously owned by
anyone else in her family....

.... eight matching plates,
wine glasses with stems
and a recipe for meal
that make guest fell honored....

.... a feeling of control
over her destiny...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW

.... how to fall in love without
losing herself.....

....how to quit a job, break up with a lover,
and confront a friend without
ruining the friendship

.... when to try harder
and when to walk away...

.... that she cant change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips,
or the nature of her Parents.....

...that her childhood may not have been perfect
but its over.....

....what she would and wouldn't
do for love and more

.... how to live alone even if
she doesn't like it....

.... whom she can trust, whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't take it personally...

.... where to go, be it her best friend's kitchen table
or a charming inn in the woods when her soul
needs soothing....

AND

.... what she can and can't
accomplish in a day...
a month.... and a year...
