Awesome Imperfection
When a stoop of depression is upon me
and allI can see are the wrinkles in my skin and the bags under my eyes
a friend will remind me
that those wrinkles mean wisdom
and the bags mean hard work
and I start to remember my awesome imperfection
When I am sad and can only look down
I see my hands all calloused and scarred
then that friend will tell me
that those hands are awesome
they've earned those callouses and scars
they've created awesome things.
I remember all the awesome imperfections that I have
When I am happy I can only look up
I can see how awesome everything is
even when imperfect
how perfect is
and that is truly awesome
