I will not reach

A certain point of perfection

That I must sustain

For the rest of my life

Perfection

Does not exist

I must live the mystery of life

With the eyes of a child

Pure and innocent

This is the state I must strive for

To see the world

For the very first time

Each and every moment

While all the while

Letting the imperfect

Yet pure child

Within me

Speak

And be heard
