This woman

This woman,

so aware of all her big flaws and small imperfections
still can't do sit-ups to save her life but doesn't give up trying
doesn't have to be GOOD enough, who can just BE
sometimes gets shot down, but never falls
is titanium
works out and eats healthy
enjoys ALL the creatures in her yard except the carpenter bees
turned 4effing8 today and is not afraid to say it
is both flabby and fit
deserves to be treated with respect and kindness
is 90% forgiving and 10% resentful
tries so hard to leave this world a better place
is ready for what her next year will bring and she will embrace it or fight it

This woman I love

This woman is me.
