Shhhh..my darling. Weep not. Imperfection is a hard lesson to learn. It doesn’t make you less a person. In fact, more so. Life will deal you so many hard knocks. Knowing you don’t have all the answers is half the battle. The other half is Finding the one that fits So dry your tears. I am right here and always will be. For the days when your search is overwhelming and you just need a break. |

Don't you wish you could just tell her the answers instead of watching her learn the hard way? *S* I like this very much! *S* |

“Imperfection is a hard lesson to learn.” Really? I actually found it pretty easy  I’m teasing you know “Knowing you don’t have all the answers is half the battle. The other half is Finding the one that fits” I couldn’t have said that better myself Whatever that’s worth... You’re doing a great job Susan As a poet, but even more so, as a parent! You should be proud |
