The Irrelevancy of Perfection

by Joel Howard

Important to note along this junction

The complete irrelevancy of perfection

Forget arrival when you're beginning

The fundamentals not the winning

Let's say you're not where you're wanting

Let's say some desires are pending

Say you're not who you're becoming

That's the very point I'm making

If you find yourself confused

Not quite sure, not so huge

Small and seemingly diminished

Doesn't mean that you won't win it

Some give up prematurely

Many lose heart in the waiting

Don't be like them; instead find courage

In what He says makes the difference

I believe that it's the holding

Onto that which seems out of reach

Yes the claiming of impossible

The receiving of His point of view

It's the fact that now ain't never

And that moments aren't forever

Point B is separate from others

Point C could be around the corner

Eyes down - on your own work

Forget the whispers of onlookers

This the irrelevancy of perfection

This requires little of our attention

Know the one who knows it all

That my friend keeps us from a fall

The fall of the distracted, the comparing

When into Creator's eyes we're staring
