| Me--exposed. |
Though there are things I like to do…
I love to write, I’m sure you know,
‘Well crafted’ really makes me glow,
And reading’s great, my second thing,
Especially with a mystery’s zing,
I love to walk and swimming’s fun,
And sitting in the summer sun,
Playing with my grandkids, wow!
I’d do it anytime (or how),
Eating out with friends; yes, please,
From pancakes to Vietnamese,
Or meals at home with fam’ly, friends,
Where mealtime never, ever ends,
Movies with my Husby, yes!
Any ‘Marvel’, I confess,
I love to sit and reminisce,
And storytelling brings me bliss,
Lego-making; that I love,
It gives those sad ol’ blues the shove,
And puzzles (that love from my dad
Wherein we spent what time we had),
I like to cook, it gives me glee,
I like to clean, I’m OCD,
I’m not a shopper, don’t like sports,
I am a homebody of sorts,
But I love people in my life,
I try hard to lessen strife,
(A little kindness, Mama taught
Will help with someone’s pain a lot),
I laugh a bunch (perhaps too much),
But life is great with a light touch,
All these, I said I like to do,
Well. Or not. I leave to you.
But imperfections, they abound,
(Please know that I am well. And sound!)
But Husby made a sweet confession..
He loves my ‘Delightful Imperfections’!

Aww ... what a great ending! We are all imperfect, and the ones who love others - and have someone who loves them - in spite of those imperfections are so very lucky.
ReplyDeleteOkay, this is by far my very favorite! When I think of you I always think "happy" and "kind" and there are no greater two things to be!
ReplyDeleteThanks for poetizing (probably not a word) your life and choices. Now I know even more about you, Diane, and love you even more. Happy Monday.
ReplyDeleteWe definitely are in parallel universes. Love your poetry so much and as others have said, so easy to love you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! We are all perfectly imperfect.
ReplyDeleteWe are all perfectly imperfect, and that's a good thing in a way, because where you are great (shall we say perfect?) I am imperfect and vice versa. It makes the world work because, sooner or later, these match up. For example,you like to clean and make pie. I like clean houses (but hate cleaning) and I love to eat pie. If you ever move to New York State, give me a holler, lol. And bonus, I know a lot more about you now!
ReplyDeleteI love your perfect imperfection. And you can always be counted on to make a perfect rhyme! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGreat poem. Thanks for sharing.
