“Try, try again,”
Says the perfectionist who wants to get it right
Not just right, without flaw
For anything else reflects her epic fail
Try doesn’t fit in:
The black and white, the dark and light,
The perfect or wrong.
Try is the middle of the road
Where our experience prevails
Try opens doors
Try changes direction
Try is the path whose perfect is Jesus.

Great poem, Julie! Perfectionism is definitely something I have struggled with and am gradually letting go of. I love this reminder: “Try is the path whose perfect is Jesus.” It makes such a difference when I realise it comes down to his perfection, not mine.

Thank you for reading Lesley. I am speaking from experience in this poem and feel encouraged I am not alone. My high expectations hindered patience with myself a couple years ago. The Giver of Grace is with me, and with you, and all who struggle in this way💙
