My love is not perfect. <br />It does not flawlessly sail the seven seas <br />It clears no mount in single bound <br />No epic stuff this <br />My love is not perfect. <br />Threats may not be seen <br />Predators may be invited unwittingly <br />My love is not perfect. <br />It is often blind to dangerous flaws <br />It can be the staircase of a catastrophic fall <br />My love is not perfect. <br />It can hurt unknowingly <br />And injure me fatally <br />Yet this imperfect love <br />Brings forth my best 'me' <br />Without this love <br />I could not be. <br />This imperfect love is strength <br />For imperfect me. <br /> <br /> <br />8/9/2009<br /><br />Claude H Oliver II<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-love-is-not-perfect/
