PRACTICAL IMPERFECTION


PRACTICAL PERFECTION



Practical perfection
< Reality
> Than the possibility.
There are always chinks,
Pieces missing from the human puzzle,
Scuff marks placed upon us by life's sharp edges.
Some imperfection is hard-wired
So that we learn--or know by instinct--
To find the pieces to complete the whole
In others.
Not tall enough,
Not strong enough,
Pretty enough,
Smart enough,
Not fast enough,
Patient enough,
Loud enough,
Or
Soft enough  to 
Command attention.
Lord, let me trust
In the necessity
Of being created incomplete.
