Perfect [View all]

Perfect
Such a powerful word
And yet, just a word
A homeless mother who fed her child , perfect
A man, comes home from his job, perfect
A wife cleans, cooks and cares, perfect
Oh perfect, just a word , until.

Perfect becomes an expectation
Perfect can be projected
Perfect no longer a personal goal

Oh Perfect
Such a powerful word.

And just a word
