Faults

I was watching "In The Attic" on WhoTV today. Rachel Fuller performed a song she had written for Pete Townshend called Imperfection. It's always been one of my favorite songs off her CD (along with all the rest of them of course) but this one always struck me because I always think of this short poem written by Sara Teasdale when I hear it.

Faults

They came to tell your faults to me,
They named them over one by one
I laughed aloud when they were done
I knew them all so well before
Oh they were blind, to blind to see
Your faults had made me love you more


The show was terrific as always. Full of treats. Another thing that made my day is I actually won a competition prize. The Poetry Olympics book. Autographed by all. Yay me. :-)

Congratulations on winning!

You should join us next week in Ballerina Gurl's chat during the show.

My Son and I were blessed today with the sight of two white doves flying together. I put pictures up on my blog to share with you.

Peace, love and light to you and yours.
