What Is Perfection? Poem by Jim Yerman

We are brought up to believe…it gets imprinted on our brain
that perfection is an ideal to strive for…but one we often can't attain.

Then one day we become a little wiser and begin to think a different way
We see our life is filled with perfect moments
perfect nights
and perfect days.

Yes, once we have matured
once we grow a little older
we realize the idea of perfection…
is in the eye of the beholder.

This means we don't have to see eye to eye
our planets don't need to align…
for you are free to find your own perfection
and I'm free to find mine.

Perhaps this is how it's meant to be
the way the creator designed it
That perfection be more personal…more private
and it's up to us to find it.

Which means…much to our amazement…
to our wonder…and surprise
we can to see perfection once we open up our eyes.

What makes this all the more special
is…no matter who we are
If we want to find perfection
We don't have to travel very far.
