A piece is missing
your other wing is perfect
so do you still fly
you are imperfect beauty
this butterfly and my soul

So then I will fly
as imperfect as I am
to soar and be free
so giving love and beauty
back to an imperfect world

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Dear Ellie,
  I am one who very much identifies with your theme of imperfection, yet possessing beauty. I also like the idea of the less than perfect, but significant contributions which we can make to an also imperfect world, for good.
  Very good indeed!

I really liked this one. Well done here!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
