TO BECOME ENLIGHTENED

ARE WE ALL FLAWED

SO WE MAY APPLAUD

OVERCOMING

OUR SHORTCOMINGS

ROOTING FOR THE UNDERDOG

WE SEE OURSELVES IN THEM

STRUGGLING TO CLEAR THE FOG

TO BECOME ENLIGHTENED

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A LINE JUMPED OUT AT ME IN LITTLE WOMEN SOMETHING ABOUT BEING HOPELESSLY FLAWED...WE ARE NOT HOPELESSLY FLAWED...ONLY FLAWED WITH LOTS OF HOPE...ALWAYS ROOTING TO OVERCOME THE FLAWS AND OFTEN SUCCEEDING IF WE DON'T GIVE UP HOPE.
