Life is not perfect
Newsflash dear friends!
My mantra each day
Until it all ends
Once you accept that
Strangely a calm
Will blanket your psyche
Like a well proven balm
Now nothing profound here
Just stating what is
Expecting perfection
Can prevent having bliss
So stumble through days
The best that you are able
Free your mind of perfection
And enjoy life’s bountiful table!
