The Perfect Womens Club

For International Women’s Day.

The Perfect Women’s Club

I invite you to join the perfect womens club.
The application is sitting on the desk.
The following will not determine acceptance:
Weight, height, age,
skin or hair color 
Certainly not breast size or body shape.

Education will make little difference unless it's used wisely.
Best of all there is no one to compete with,
acceptance is almost always guaranteed.
What are we looking for you might ask?
Have you cried?
Have you laughed?
Does your heart possess the capacity for love?
Do you sing along with the radio?
Have you smiled, really smiled?
Have some of your dreams come true?
Are there still dreams waiting to unfold?
You can be shy or outgoing.
You don't have to be anyone but yourself.

Flaws are important,
they are what make you unique.
You can have doubts or confidence.
It’s okay if you are forward or reserved.
You don’t have to be your best self every day.
It's okay if you have failed.
You can be proud of all you have accomplished.
Are you still smiling?
It's even okay if you are crying,
you just have to be you.
No need to change for anyone.
If you want to change that’s okay.
You will reinvent yourself many times.

Our members won’t see imperfections,
Because only you can do you.
So welcome and congratulations!
You are now a proud member, 
of the Perfect Women's  Club.

Well I'll burn a bra to that one! Lol sorry, couldn't help it Rick. It does make one's back sit a little straighter... I'm guessing it is time for me to turn in lol. I just wanted to say hello before I shut down for the evening.

A club that will have grow many branches to keep it balanced I think. How are you Richard. I am now five years cancer free, with our grandson also five and loving school. Our eldest daughter daughter is expecting identical twin boys in August. Our son the last of the three is still single but like the girls is gainfully employed. He is a research engineer and was recently in Detroit for a conference. Best Regards David in NZ

What wonderful news David. Continued blessings my friend. Myself and my sweetie have a three year old grandson Benjamin. I just retired and my wife will be retired in May.

Hello Richard, "The Perfect Women's Club" challenges conventional notions of perfection and celebrates the beauty of authenticity and individuality. To me, the poem's deeper meaning lies in its message of inclusivity, self-acceptance, and the recognition of inner qualities over external appearances.

An excellent poem. Should the same be assumed for men? Imperfect women are too easily downtrodden I'm glad you wrote this.
