Nobody is perfect,
but I believe you can get very close.
I warn you though:
never try to be perfect-it isn’t worth it.

Trying to be perfect
Is what makes us stumble and slip.
Would you care to know the secret
to becoming almost nearly perfect?

I will tell you but you must promise me
that you will not twist my words
for I will be answering quite plainly.
Follow my instruction or you’ll only get worse.

Be yourself. That’s all.
Can this be the truth? The sought-after secret?
Yes! Believe me and believe most of all:

Every person is born unique.
Who should seek to be like someone else when
the person they are is their very own?
I pray that when you play this hide-and-seek
you will  find yourself
and see the perfect you that I see-
the you that I love,
the true you that, in my heart, I will always carry.
