Friends With Feet Of Clay Poem by Helene Toole Howard

I have friends with feet of clay
Marred and marked in many ways
Flawed imperfections seeping through
Characters sealed with casein glue
Yet these friends with many flaws
Know that we all, are marked and marred
They don't mind when they hear me say
I have friends with feet of clay
They know that we are a piece of earth
Building character, for our spiritual rebirth
From flawed imperfections that we grew
To have feet of gold when God is through
With our characters sealed by casein glue
No longer scared with any flaws.
