Imperfection

Imperfection is when you

ran up and down the aisles

at church when you were three.

When you cried on the first day

of kindergarten because your

mom wasn't going to be there.

When you got a B+ on the math

test you studied so hard for.

When you didn't know what to

say when your crush asked you

to the school dance.

When you failed your driver's

test and everyone else already

had their license.

When you didn't get accepted

into the college of your choice.

When you san "I Will Survive"

the night before your wedding

at your bachelorette party.

When you stayed up until

one o'clock in the morning

rocking your daughter to

sleep in your arms.

When you worked hard

at a low-paying job to help

support your family.

When you held your

grandson's hand at his

grandpa's funeral.

When you fell asleep in

the hospital dreaming about

heaven and never woke up.

Imperfection is doing and knowing

all the little things that make you perfect.
