Accepting Imperfection
She's a view
My glances seeking, short, but few
She'll frown and she'll sigh and she'll say unto me
That she's dull, a bore, and simply not pretty
To me, however
She's the world
And all thereof
The birds and the clouds
The sky above
She's got dimples when she smiles, a stutter when she speaks
Wild, frizzy hair, and stars upon her cheeks
And although, despite, however
Her bumps, her cracks- all together
Make her wish she were someone else
I'd love her more and more
Regardless of her cuts, wilts, bruises, or sores
She's new, she's different, and that's fine
I'd tell her so a million times, even if she's never mine
To make her see what I see in her own reflection
That's the goal
But the first step,
Is accepting imperfection
