If I am not a saint

Posted by Paige on Mar 1, 2010 in General, Life |

In this seemingly perfect world, everyone is trying to fit into that photo-shopped, flawless mould. Are we able to embrace the less than perfect? Are we strong enough?

Sometimes, I get into moments of intense emotions.  Below is a poem I wrote which a particular happening drew me into a state of self-questioning.

If I am not a saint…

Let me say this while my conscience shouts:

Words of sugar I denied

Words of daggers I held in pride.

But soon I turned around and find

A trail of broken hearts I left behind

B’cos I dreamt of a mighty me

Wield the sword and slay the beast

In my wake, I know I am not

Lack the strength to walk the talk

Love and peace I wish for all

So that we can all stand tall

I pray for powers from the above the skies

Before the lord of darkness leaves us dry

And as my pen comes to a halt

Please tell me in a form of a nod

Will you still love me tomorrow?

If I am a saint, not?

You need not be a saint to be loved by others. I guess nobody is a saint except God himself.

I am giving you that nod that no matter how many tomorrows there are, you will be loved by us be’ cos we love who you are now.. (^.^)

I think most people will think of that too. At least i tot of that too.
no one in this world is prefect expect GOD.
No matter how hard we try, we just can be a saint.
Why not, just be yourself. If u feel tired. then take a break and have a rest.
while resting, look at the world, u shall see glory and joy.

Have a good day

Because we are all not perfect, we accept that other people have imperfections too. All our little talents and imperfections makes us individuals.
Fate plays a part to let people know one another, yet liking does not equate to Love.
Love comes when we learn to understand that accepting not just tolerating others’ weaknesses is a part of loving the person also. So, I rather love a mortal who accepts me as a mortal.

P/S: All the people I have ever loved or still love all have a certain imperfection
that makes me smile thinking “How cute they are doing that, I don’t ever want to lose them”
So Jia You!!
