Imperfect Love

This poem was inspired when I was evaluating my affections for the girl i like

Imperfect Love


Saying you’re perfect is not a good start,
Not if I want you to know what’s really on my heart,
It’s a feeling God has placed there in his Sovereignty,
Something he designed in the eternity,
For me to love you unconditionally,
To appreciate your existence and your whole being.


This feeling goes way past the visible,
What I feel for you is not physical,
It is a force within me invincible,
It makes me strong and hardly comprehensible,
It brings me hope when I think you impossible,
And perseverance and wisdom when you seem unreachable.


Regardless of my affects I’ll never love you perfectly,
Your goodness and character will never be repaid rightfully,
The beauty of your soul cannot be treated equally,
Unless God purifies me efficiently,
That day we’ll both be perfect without sin completely,
Until then I’m to love you, to love you imperfectly.
