Perfecting

Trying to be perfect in an imperfect world...

Connect the dots.
Cross the T's.
Dot every I.
Make it perfect,
For an imperfect world.

Make your home just so.
Keep the yard, groomed and weed free.
Inside, tidy and neat.
Make it perfect,
For an imperfect world.

Workout, two hours a day.
No, gray hair won't do.
Stay trim, for the world to see.
Be ever so perfect,
For an imperfect world.

Don't take a political stand.
Walk both sides of the fence.
Have no opinions, just many friends.
Be ever so perfect,
For an imperfect world.

Be the talk of the town.
Raising athletes, honor roll students.
With a spouse, who catches an eye.
Let everyone see, your perfect,
For an imperfect world.

Stay away from others hardships.
Don't offer to help.
But never refuse when asked.
Let everyone see, your perfect,
For an imperfect world.

In this imperfect world,
Being perfect, is no easy chore.
I think,
I'll just cruise along,
With my own imperfections.

Laying down on Mother Earth,
I'll stare at a blue sky.
I'll marvel at everything, in between.
And that's,
Just perfect for me.
