Thank YOU, that I am not perfect!
I take off this heavy yoke,
This burden that cripples my spirit and robs my joy.
What is it like to live a different life?
To believe something different from what I've spoke.
To try new things and become more of YOUR joy.
Thank YOU that I'm not perfect!
Thank YOU that I can make mistakes,
And can try again.
There are many possibilities ahead!
I can zoom ahead and I can apply the breaks,
I can stumble and re-wire my brain.
Thank YOU that I'm not perfect!
So here's to another attempt,
So here's to continuing on the journey...
No matter what…willingly and NOT circumspect!

Lent is the practice of sacrifice (going without) and remembrance. I am giving up chocolate this year and will try to write a poem in my new “Lent Collection” each day. Enjoy!
