Who is perfect?

I am not a perfect person

I have many flaws you see

While I work for more improvements

This is just how God made me

I might not fold the laundry

Or have your favorite shirt

I cannot help that you wore it

And rolled around in dirt

I cannot devote my day

To the house and cleaning

I have to work sometimes

I find it quite rewarding

Between homework, dance and gym

Spending time with friends and fun

Not to mention cleaning

I freely admit, there is lots to be done

I went to a course on choices

To try and start anew

I made some commitments

I honor them, can't you?

No matter what I do or don't

It is never quite enough

I have to deal with my crap

Just not the other stuff

So when you think I don't listen

Or hear a word you say

Just take a moment

To ask about my day

I might have been on a field trip

Or drying another's eye

I might have gone for groceries
Or had coffee on the fly

And sometimes I choose to do nothing

To try and take care of me

Why is that so hard

For you to accept and to see?

There are things that make a family
Brighter to behold
Being unique individuals
Is more precious than gold

So I challenge you this week
Before you decide to complain
What would you rather live with
Sunshine or rain?

I am not a perfect person
I do my very best
To mind my temper and bring more joy
And forget about the rest.
