Perfection

Bumbling ball of perfection,

How I wish I were like you,

Stumbling on, no reflection,

Unphased by all things new

Totally in each moment

Full of joy and love and light

No knowledge of opponents,

Your world, it is so bright

It’s your simple smiling face,

So honest and brave and true

That brings me back to this place

The here and now, with you

Usually, the day goes by

and I’m up inside my head

I thank you so sincerely

That I am here instead.
