Perfection is getting up 100 times
when you've fallen down 99.
Its saying sorry after screwing up
and making a U turn
when the roads are dark.
Perfection is-
imperfectly trying continually
-or at least sporadically-
not marked by gradual progression
but simply by getting up
one more time
than you've fallen down.

I think that one is my favorite so far. Gettin up one more time than you fall...Perfect.
Thanks T-jay, your pun was noted.
Berkley you are a really great poet! These are beautiful. I once read in a fiction book, "God doesn't want you to be perfect, He wants you to be glorious." I thought that was an interesting thought, because it's true Christ takes care of the perfection for us. And to become glorious is to never give up. That's also why I loved your poem about a child's hope.
