Perfect

Perfect
Such a powerful word
And yet, just a word
A homeless mother who fed her child , perfect
A man, comes home from his job, perfect
A wife cleans, cooks and cares, perfect
Oh perfect, just a word , until.

Perfect becomes an expectation
Perfect can be projected
Perfect no longer a personal goal

Oh Perfect
Such a powerful word.

And just a word

“Perfection is not of this world, my son”
Perfectionists are not very happy people
We have been having some perfect weather lately.
