Perfect You

Here is a poem I wrote today when I had some free time!  Tell me what you think!

Perfect You

By: Sydney

If there’s a crack in the shell will it lay there neglected?

Would anyone think that it is really perfected?

It has a far more interesting story to tell,

Than the other shells that are polished and ready to sell.

There’s beauty in all if you look at it right,

If there’s no crack in the darkness could there ever be light?

It may not look the way we all strive to be:

Flawless, perfect and always carefree.

Would there ever be rain if there was nothing to clean?

Or the grass on the ground was always bright green?

To be honest and truthful we never can know,

If with no struggles anything could grow.

Would there be a tomorrow is today was just fine?

Could we ever enjoy a crooked line?

If perfect was all we ever could see,

Would all our dreams become a reality?

Could we dream about tomorrow if we already possess

Everything we’ve wanted and nothing less.

The weakness in all is where the light can shine through.

If we were all perfect we could never get to…

The heart of the matter, what’s inside,

There’s something in all we just wish we could hide.

The regret that we feel or the wreck we’ve become,

Could this madness in life ever be undone?

The most beautiful part of us is what is to come.

The puzzle will fit together perfectly and become…

The picture of life and in all living things,

Only through the work of our God, King of Kings.

When you look back it may seem like a mess,

Through the trials of life you may never have guessed.

Should we rehearse our problems if fear always shows?

Could we even be human if “imperfect’ wasn’t our foe?

The perfect in all, to strive for the best,

So who needs to stop at anything less?

Through the mercy He gives us and spreads all around,

You never will die or fall to the ground.

In the mirror it looks like you’ll never be the best,

But no one will care if you are His guest.

The perfect shines through when you expect it the least.

It can give you a mindset of hope, joy and peace.

To be wanted by someone, cracks, bruises and all

Will leave you with hope that you just might not fall.

Just rise to the top where everyone can see

Your perfect perfection through the busted seams,

To carry that message all the way through

Let’s everyone know it really is you – perfect you!
