Perfection's Brief Visit

Few are chosen to know perfection

for it lasts just a brief moment,

blessing those elected to handle its care

Perfection comes to bring joy and happiness,

filling the heart with wondrous elegance.

Perfection leaves an infinite impression
joining the young and the old,
the weak and the strong, the rich and the poor.
In its path is the confidence of heaven,
of God, of a special place beyond here and now.

I have seen perfection face to face

and have been touched by its tenderness,
I have heard its cry and its laughter.
Perfection came to visit me one day,
Its flawless beauty forever enchanting my soul.
