None of Us Is Perfect No one is perfect or so they say We all have had at least one bad day None of us knows the strength within Until we acknowledge that we too sin We’ve all wandered from the path home Meandered off course and started to roam But deep inside we know what to do In others adversity let’s help them through We all sometimes cast a stone or word Even when we know it’s better unheard Our pride sometimes deceives our eyes When we praise ourselves with too many lies Sometimes we should remember we too Have walked the path that others do We aren’t always virtuous sweet and good And we don’t always do all that we should None of us has ever been truly saintly Everyone does something that isn’t godly We aren’t any better than others are Even though we think we are better by far Take a look within and see what is there And then maybe you will learn to care Offer love and kindness to all you meet For you too know that dark isn’t sweet Let this thought be in your heart today None of us are perfect no matter what you say Marsha Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

How very true... *S* I may have been born on All Saints Day... but that's about as close as I can get to saintliness or perfection! *S* (although I'm working on perfecting procrastination *G*) Beautiful write, Mushy One... *S* |

MarshaLove~ This reply is in GOLD ... because your thoughts are golden !!! If I could have written this ... I'd have been as proud could be~ You did ... and that's the beauty of you. Sometimes 'others' just can't see beyond the glow of their own haloes~ This - 'We all sometimes cast a stone or word Even when we know it’s better unheard Our pride sometimes deceives our eyes When we praise ourselves with too many lies Sometimes we should remember we too Have walked the path that others do We aren’t always virtuous sweet and good And we don’t always do all that we should' ... is priceless ... and ever so right on ! You and I have a mirror of reflecting souls~ I love you, gal~  *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Beautifully written and very true. Did I read somewhere that it was Krissy's birthday yesterday? And if so, will you wish her a very happy one from me. hugs and love Maureen |

Let this thought be in your heart today None of us are perfect no matter what you say Marsha, this is so true. Some who think they are perfect and know everything about situations, don't. They shouldn't be passing judgements and saying things even if they think someone is wrong. Thank you for posting this. It is full of wisdom.... I've been thinking along these same lines and wish I had wrote this... Hugs, Ethel |

 (sigh) So very true, dearest friend, but we can be as close to perfect as possible, and with your golden heart that welcomes us with true compassion, you certainly are just short of perfect! (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marsha, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

Mushy, You write the truth though I'd like to deny it! And you do it so perfectly.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
