Perfect

I am perfectly imperfect
in every way
I wake up perfectly
on every imperfect day

The sun sets the scene
and the stars fade away
And I crawl out of bed
in my own imperfect way

When I was born
I knew nothing
and I know
nothing still

Though I watch
the world closely
from my own
windowsill

I have imperfect looks
and an imperfect gate
I have a yo-yo diet
and an imperfect weight

The world is all filled
with perfect flaws
Wonders and marvels
that still give me pause

A tree that grows wild
with a beauty unmatched
is imperfectly perfect
when birds there are hatched

A cloud is all sorts
of unsorted out stuff
A right beautiful picture
of imagination's fluff

The world is a marble
Unbalanced at best
Yet it spins so well as
our hearts are at rest

You are quite perfect
and yes, so am I
in our imperfect existence
in this imperfect life

Be at rest, restless soul
Let our minds understand
Our imperfections make us
perfectly grand
