Perfection
We grow up striving to be perfect…we’re told…perfection is the way…but we soon learn no one is ever perfect…every moment of every day.
Realizing total perfection is impossible…we settle on a different plan…
We begin to look for moments of perfection where and when we can.
Luckily they are not hard to find…trust me…someone who’s been looking for a while…because every moment of perfection has at its heart…a smile.
It may be a little love you’ve given…or a little love you have received…but once you feel or see a smile…perfection is achieved.
So instead of trying to be perfect…this is my philosophy…
if I can make one person smile…I know a moment if perfection has found it’s way to me.
Take these verses I write each day…trying to write the perfect poem…is a hopeless goal…indeed…which means my imperfect poems and verses are all you get to read.
But even if one imperfect poem makes you smile…my heart and soul agree…that one moment of perfection…
is good enough for me.
