Perfection of Imperfection

what's a thorn without a rose 
what's a bleeding without feelings 
real darkness is where no light can shine 
intact to keep the light in 
cracked to let the light in 
equilibrium and wisdom 
even the fairest scales must rock first 
a suicide voice can never be the choice

Thanks for sharing this. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
