Loving my weaknesses …

Just had a cook’s tour around the neighborhood
kids are fun and I love them
                             but they gave me lots of trouble
snow, soil, water and ice
were all mixed
with no bright line.

When I was a kid
                             I dove deep in some frosty mud
                                      that kind of looked like a pile of snow
I loved my dad but he gave me a hard time
                             and I still love him anyway.

Rain drops and snow crystals
might be perfect while descending
but on the earth
                   we’re all mixed
                             we’re all imperfect …
