The Shoddy Yellow Ribbon
The Shoddy Yellow Ribbon
A little yellow ribbon
Tied by a little girl
She thought about every movement
Everything had to be perfect
How many times did she start?
Did she cry when she made a mistake?
It doesn’t matter what that 5 year old girl gave me
It could be a Rolex or a clay statue
It doesn’t matter
That shoddy yellow ribbon
The one with the loosely tied knot
That is the only present I value
The one she wrapped for me
The one she gave me on Father’s Day
