To the Self Doubting Poet

With confidence I tell you - Get your own. Imperfections you fear will be exposed are what qualify you as you alone, and you alone are owed for this composed: Consider all you are and have to share - A mother, you might be, soft spoken, sweet, soothing your daughter in a rocking chair, her tiny heart and yours in synchronized beat; and now consider why your daughter dreams and why her tiny lungs with life are full; and then consider how perfection seems a bit like poetry - It’s beautiful. Consider her, when you deliberate, if you should doubt what comes when you create.

One should view an "Imperfect person Perfectly." As we have all been created by the Creator differently. Imperfections make us who we are. We should never doubt our self worth. Your thoughts are beautiful and tender. I like this thought "how perfection seems a bit like poetry. Very uplifting. ~ Brandy
