Imperfect

We break, crying, wondering why

  Surrender recognizes our brokenness,

Our reliance on something bigger than

  Ourselves, we are not all we need

We are pieces of a whole surrounding us

  With the comfort of Spirit, a companion

If we never break, we never fully realize

  Compassion is in us, strong, tender 

Holding on to the jumbled mess we are

  Loving where we are met in the gap

An imperfect soul, knowing with all the

  Cracks is beauty come alive, a mark

To remind we somehow made it, with 

  God's help we did not heal on our own

It was too deep, too hard, too much 

  We lifted up our helpless self and tried,

Tried to do it on our own, we weren't 

  Complete until the surrender, the lifting

Acknowledgment of not being able to 

  Heal ourselves, only in surrender

Allow the healing strength from above

  Knowing we are safe in the arms of love
