She ebbs and flows like water
And she feels just like wine
She loved the things I bought her
When I did not have a dime
There were times I felt like hiding
She could almost read my mind
In her yard the trees are dying
And there's nothing growing on the vine
I'll be here if you need me
I'll be here, even if you don't
Show me the door
Or show me something more
Take me in or shove me out to sea
She lit me up like powder
And she scattered me like dust
A broken bell in a crooked tower
Born to fall and built to rust
I'll be here if you need me
I'll be here, even if you don't
Show me the door
Or show me something more
Take me in or shove me out to sea
Couldn't see much deeper
Than a penny on the ground
We looked as far as flesh and bone
So that was all we found
She told me there's no way of knowing
When the last time had come and gone
We can't reap what we've been sowing
Waiting for answers farther along
I'll be here if you need me
I'll be here, even if you don't
Show me the door
Or show me something more
Take me in or shove me out to sea
Show me the door
Or show me something more
Take me in or shove me out to sea

I’ve hated this woman. I’ve not loved her at full capacity. I’ve fed her lies & told her she wasn’t good enough and have allowed others to tell her she wasn't good enough. I’ve allowed her to be broken. I've allowed others to treat her disrespectfully.
I’ve allowed her to run through brick walls & battle for others who won’t even stand for her. I couldn’t stop individuals from abandoning her, yet I’ve seen her get up and stand to be a light to the world & love others despite all that. I have stood paralyzed by fear while she fought battles in her mind, heart and soul.
This woman has screwed up many times, as a girlfriend, a wife, a , or as a friend, because she doesn’t always say or do the "right things". She has a smart mouth, and she has secrets. She has scars... because she has a history.
Some people love this woman, some like her, and some people don't care for her at all.
She has done good in her life. She has done bad in her life. She goes days without makeup, or shaving her legs sometimes. She doesn’t get dressed up half the time. She is random and sometimes silly. She will not pretend to be someone she is not. She is who she is. Every mistake, failure, trial, disappointment, success, joy, and achievement has made her the woman she is today.
You can love her or not. But if she loves you, she will do it with her whole heart, and she will make no apologies for the way she is.
This Woman is a WARRIOR. She’s not perfect, but she IS WORTHY! She’s UNSTOPPABLE. Gracefully broken but beautifully standing. She is loved. She is life. She is transformation. She is Grace. She is BRAVE!

A man suspects his wife is cheating on him. One day, he dials his home and a strange woman answers. The man says, "Who is this?" "This is the maid," answered the woman. "We don't have a maid", said the man. The maid says, "I was hired this morning by the woman of the house. The woman says, "Well, this is his husband. Is she there?" The maid replied, "she is upstairs in the bedroom with someone who I figured was her husband." The man is fuming. He says to the maid, "Listen, would you like to make $100,000?" The maid says, "What will I have to do?" The man tells her, "I want you to get my gun from the desk, and shoot that and the asshole she's with." The maid puts the phone down; the man hears footsteps and the gun shots. The maid comes back to the phone, "What do I do with the bodies?" The man says, "Throw them in the swimming pool." Puzzled, the maid answers, "But there's no pool here." A long pause and the man says, "Is this 732-4621?"

One of the regulars, had not been showing up for a few weeks at the weekly get together. Surprisingly showed back up. There he was with a young, beautiful, woman dangling off of his arm, listening to his every word.
She excused herself to go powder her nose and the questions started;
Wow! How did you get a date with her?
He replied she is my wife.
What did you say to get her to marry you?
To be truthful, he replied, I lied to her about my age.
So, what did you tell her... you are in your 50"s?
No, he replied, I told her I am 95...

So this 17 year old high school drives home from from his paper route in a Maserati. Tells his parents come look at my new car I just bought. they come out and see this Maserati and said, ", what have you been doing to get the money for this car"? he replied, I only paid fifteen dollars for it, here is the title. Dad, says, Let me see that and who did you buy this from? The replied, A lady on my paper route saw me on my bike and asked if I wanted to buy a car. Too much to believe, the dad goes to the woman's house and finds here in the yard. He introduces himself and askes if it is true she sold his , the car for fifteen dollars. She replied, Yes, it is true. My husband told me he was on a business trip and I find out he is in Hawaii with his secretary and has a large, gambling debt. He told me to sell the car...
and send him the money

"I sat on the park bench feeding the birds today
and a little girl with a yellow ribbon came
up and stood in front of me
and said
"Hey mister, buy me ice-cream."
Go away, I’m busy I said.
I wanted to cut her little pigtails off and feed them to the
pigeons.
But she wouldn’t let up
"You look melancholy,"
she said
and twirled around in a circle.
I stopped from feeding the birds and stared at her spinning little head.
Do you even know what that word means? I said.
"Yup."
Well?
“it’s what old people are when they don’t want to admit that they’re sad,” she said
and began to twirl again.
I couldn’t stop staring at the ribbon in her hair.
“You should buy me ice-cream” she said, “the truck is riiiiiight over there.”
Humph I said, it will rot your teeth.
She held out her hand and smiled
And I stuck a quarter in it.
“Listen mister, it costs $1.25.”
Holy shit, when I was your age you could get two ice-cream sandwi---whatever.
I gave her the damn money and she took off like a freight train.
I watched the ribbon in her hair disappear over the small hill in the park and
I felt my limbs go soft.
The little -of-a-bitch was right
melancholy
it had set in years ago
Taken me over like a world war
like an old score
I was settled in to it
comfortable in it
The loss
The lecherous
The left handedness of time had come and gone and left me a veteran
of the battle within me.
The rage had left
And I had replaced it with regret.
“Hey mister, I got you one, too. I was wrong, they were two for $1.25.”
Go away I’m busy, I said, and wiped my eyes with my sleeve
I wanted to pull her pigtails off and stick them in her ice-cream cones.
“You should have one, it will make you not so sad,” she said and stuck one in my face.
The smell of cheap chocolate and half melted ice milk hasn’t changed in forty years
and
goddamn it if that wasn’t right
the second that cone hit my stomach
the sugar
the cocoa
the cream did its work
and I sat smiling as she skipped around the bench
scaring the birds
tugging the ribbon from her hair and looping it in the air
pulling it over my shoulder
evening the score
calling off the war
settling
the loss
the lecherous
the left handedness of time
and the battle inside me
the rage
woke up
and began stirring
the fight
the fire
replacing regret
✨
and I laughed as she left
saying outloud
“best bucktwentyfive ever spent.”
♥️ Michael Xavier, The Yellow Ribbon
