What Is Perfect Poem by Reshma Ramesh

What Is Perfect

Rating: 5.0


Perfect is the time when you call me my darling
the answer to all my questions you somehow found
perfect is the sound of silence when iam in your arms
waiting for that kiss with my parted lips
perfect is the love that my friends give me
every time i laugh with them the perfect laughs
perfect is the kiss my son plants on my cheek
those hugs he gives me every single day

Perfect is the rice my mother cooks for me
and the warmth it spreads from my plate
perfect is the night when I dine with my family
the food we eat with god's grace
perfect is the light that fills my house
the love my parents have showered on me
perfect is this life through its all imperfections
because I choose it to be

perfect is being what we're created to be, and you say it so well in this write, Reshma. I'm always touched by friendships, becuase we do not dersve them; they just come to us and we bask in the joy. 'perfect is the love that my friends give me', yes, that makes for a perfect life. Great Mark
