Not perfect, not me

[netpositive]

I experience love very deeply, and grow
richer because of this every day.

Spring. It's here, but it's not here.
It's so close to me and yet so far away.
If I could just reach out and touch it.
I wish you could see me now.

Buds breaking painfully open lead to blossoms on branches.
Today saw a cardinal, heard a bluejay, starlings galore.
The evidence of my body tells me the daffodils don't lie.
I wish you could know me now.

Working, playing, dancing, flying, falling, drowning.
We all have our dead leaves, and the worms underneath.
I want to give what I can and yet still be all I am.
I wish you were here now.

I deserve to be loved by myself and others.
