I May Not Be Perfect

I May Not Be Perfect

By Ayla Smith 

I may not be perfect

I'm not the most spiritual,

The smartest or wisest,

But I am a work in progress 

Nobody is perfect in life

We all make our mistakes,

But it is what we do about it

That shows who we truly are

Like a streak of paint on a canvas,

We can choose to make it beautiful

Or try to cover it, but all is seen

By the master who made us

"There are no mistakes,

Just happy accidents"

How does this apply to me?

I can pick myself up after a fall

No matter how hard the fall,

I can pull through in the end

Because I know there is one

Who cares for His children

“Condemn me not because of mine imperfection, neither my father, because of his imperfection, neither them who have written before him; but rather give thanks unto God that he hath made manifest unto you our imperfections, that ye may learn to be more wise than we have been.” --Mormon 9:31
