PERCEPTION OF PERFECTION

They learned long ago that a life filled with perfection…
has less to do with life itself…and more with their perception:

Every night before they fall asleep…as in their bed they lay…
she gives him a kiss good night and says, “Thank you for a perfect day.”

And every night as they lay in bed…the moment she is through…
“For such a perfect day”, he says, “I’d like to thank you too.”

This has been their habit throughout their life…they always find a way
as they kiss goodnight to thank each other for another perfect day.

What makes each day seem perfect to them…is easy to understand
It’s spending time together…enjoying life…side-by-side and hand-in-hand.

If they’re together in the evening…happy, healthy and smiling…
to each other it’s easy for them to say, 
No matter what bumps along the way they faced,
“Thank you for a perfect day.”

And they’ve discovered as they’ve grown old together…
all these years as husband and wife…
When you string so many perfect days together…
you end up with a perfect life.

Yes, they are living proof the perfect life is out there…
the key is finding a way..
to understand the perfect life…
begins with a perfect day.
