Lord, let me see the beauty in burnt eggs
broken dishes and unmopped floors
teach me to take pride in B papers
stammered speeches and flubbed arpeggios
when I miss my exit
when my poetry sounds square when nothing
but disapproval meets my eyes
remind me that Perfection
lies at the heart of things,
and let me then rejoice for I am Yours.

Lovely. I was just telling someone the other day that they should read your poetry. :)
Have a happy Valentine's Day, you two!
Um...I'm probably missing the main point of the poem or something, but why is it important to take pride in B papers? If my paper sucks or something shouldn't I just deal with it? O_O
um...i wouldn't dwell on that line. taken out of context, it doesn't make much sense. the poem is about something personal that i feel like God is trying to teach me, about not letting my perfectionism rule my life. it wouldn't apply to everyone.
thanks for sharing my dear : )
i can definitely relate....in the end it's about the heart of it that matters the most.
it's both living a life of worship as a response to our new identity in Christ...His beloved!!!
