Not Perfect

Not perfect am I 
Age shows in my eye
Yet at times I'm still a child
Other times something less mild
Not where I hoped I would be
Oh but the things I did see
Then again 
Further from where I was back when
Not all my dreams are set
But I'm not through dreaming yet
Temper may sometimes fly
Other times I may cry
No reason why
Grateful for the years,.
Even the tears
Everything I have been through on my way to now
Times though, don't know how
I'm still alive 
Sometimes life don't jive
Wing and a prayer  maybe 
 times I couldn't see
But here I be
Stronger for my journey 
Here
Embracing the pain the fear 
This time comes the happy tear
