I sat up with a jolt
Light bulb came on suddenlyA moment of realization
"I am a work in progress"
Was wondering what perfection was
Why it seems humanly impossible
To attain the unattainable
To be perfect in every sense of the word
Like a poem without a perfect ending
Like an essay to be submitted for a grade
I need constant editing
"I am a work in progress"
Epiphany at long last
I have been Saved!
Just as I do my typed work
Saved for constant editing
My "aha!" moment finally
Someday, the final work will be presented
Then, the work will be complete
Until then, I remain saved!
