ANGELOU'S"
BEST POEM EVER
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
enough money within her control
to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to
or needs to...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
something
perfect to wear if the employer,
or date of her dreams wants to see her
in an hour...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
a youth she's
content to leave behind....
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
a
past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her old
age....
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .....
a set of
screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...
A
WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
one friend who always makes her laugh... and
one who lets her cry...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
a
good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her
family...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
eight matching
plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal,
that will
make her guests feel honored...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...
a feeling of control over her destiny...
EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to fall in love without losing
herself..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to quit a
job,
break up with a lover,
and confront a friend
without;
ruining the friendship...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD
KNOW...
when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK
AWAY...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that she can't
change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature
of her parents..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that her
childhood may not have been perfect...but it's
over...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she would
and wouldn't do for love or more...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD
KNOW...
how to live alone... even if she doesn't like
it...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW..
whom she can
trust,
whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't take it
personally...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
where to
go...
be it to her best friend's kitchen table...
or a charming inn
in the woods..
when her soul needs soothing...
EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she can and can't accomplish in a
day...
a month...and a year... |
