Simply Me... Poem by Richard D Remler

..........



If what you seek is full of grace,
Flawless and without defect.
You will not find it on my face,
I'll disappoint,with due respect.

If what you seek is beau ideal,
A paragon of excellence.
You shall not find one as genteel
A paragon in my defense.

If what you seek is immaculate,
Double-dyed and without err,
You will not find me consummate,
You will not find perfection there.

I am simply me, every flaw and thorn.
Nothing less and nothing more.
From the very day that I was born,
'tis all that I can answer for.
