Nobody’s perfect. And I mean, nobody.<\/p>\n
Even if it happened to be your Mother<\/p>\n
She’s not perfect alright,<\/p>\n
She’s unreasonable, stubborn, bias and …<\/p>\n
That, not perfect.<\/p>\n
She may have carried you for 9 months<\/p>\n
Gave birth to you, cared for you<\/p>\n
Nurtured you, taught you to be a better person<\/p>\n
Fed you, kissed your wounds to make it better<\/p>\n
And that, still not perfect.<\/p>\n
She singlehandedly sent you to get a better education<\/p>\n
She labored with you thru homeworks, projects<\/p>\n
Mid and final exams, and never to forget Thesis<\/p>\n
Perfect? Naww<\/p>\n
She painstakingly sit it out<\/p>\n
While you were choosing your prom dresses<\/p>\n
Took your hands, hugged you, kissed you<\/p>\n
To alleviate the pain and ache of your first heartbreak<\/p>\n
No, no, not perfect.<\/p>\n
She was happy for you<\/p>\n
Getting hitched, getting the best man for you<\/p>\n
She cried a bucket during that fateful wedding of yours<\/p>\n
She was doubled, no, tripled excited<\/p>\n
With the new addition to your family<\/p>\n
Perfect? You say<\/p>\n
Still I’m baffled,<\/p>\n
Then pray tell me<\/p>\n
What PERFECT means…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
