Be Happy, Not Perfect

There is no such thing as perfect,
Where did the word come from,
The perfect life, the perfect family
The perfect house, the perfect marriage,

We are all human in a human world,
Most are nice, loving, even kind,
But perfect causes such unhappiness,

Perfect is unreal, untouchable,
Accept good, well done and wonderful,
Do your best be your best,
There is no such thing as perfect,
Be Happy, Not Perfect
