I challenge
all of you tonight-
to not settle for something less than perfect.
the food you eat
the gas you pump
the perfect catch on a cold river day with your son’s gentle eyes holding you in the highest regard.
Try it. It might click-
we should shoot for the five out of five
the dream
the top restaurant in the city
the trillest party
the perfect kiss.
We live these dreams
through our media
tell ourselves its scripted
real life flips channels faster.
Go out-
find the perfect tacos
paint-
tell the person that you can’t get out of your head that your sick of them running through your head
where are you
what are you doing.
I plead- try.
It won’t work all the time-
you’ll miss the train
lose your wallet
fall into a puddle.
You know, the scene where the girl dumps the guy and his life is over?
that’s that moment.
but take that moment
to appreciate that you tried to achieve
and try again soon.
it’s out there- I know it is-
I want to share it with you
the perfect pancakes
the sun rising with crimson red and orange orange behind a photo lens
the night that person calls you back.
It’ll be worth it-
accept my challenge
and I can’t wait to hear about your perfect day.
