Perfection

Perfection
By Michelle Morris

You look at them
And see perfection 
But you're only seeing
A mere reflection

Reflections of your hopes
Reflections of your dreams
Reflections of your perceptions
Reflections of your meaning

No family is perfect
No relationship is perfect
No person is perfect
No life is perfect

Behind every smile
Behind every door
People are complex
People are unsure

We look at others
We see them through our eyes
We often misinterpret
The world that goes by

Our souls were made perfect
Our mortal shells less so
We aspire to perfection
We aspire to be our best selves

Focus on your blessings
Focus on love and light
Leave perfection for our Creator
And let your soul glow bright enough
