Perfect Child
Today a little girl
Arrived in the world.
Ten little fingers and toes
With a cute pudge nose.
She looks perfect
But let's check.
Two little ears-
Are they clear
So she can hear?
Her hazel eyes already speaks-
"My heart is waiting for you to take a peek
And to give someone an abundance of affection."
They come to her chubby legs
And discover that they are like scrambled eggs.
Who will love such imperfection?
Ones who looks towards the soul
Because that's what makes her whole.
