Imperfections as proof


I applaud how beautifully it’s been maintained, 
This vessel someone else was given, 
But where’s the wear and tear — 
Some sign it’s actually been used; 
That it’s carried out the purpose 
For which it was created... 
You look in the mirror 
And see only imperfections, 
But the scars I see, looking at you, 
Are proof that you’ve been working, being, 
Living into the promise of your birth.
