Flaws and Smiles

I may not be all there these days,

And I don’t quite fit in,
Yet I still try to start my day
With a positive grin.  
 
I’ve heard it said I lack the charm,
Or maybe the good sense,
It takes to make it through a day
Without giving offense.
 
I’m not the best at anything
And yet I have to say,
At least I try to find some joy
With which to start each day.
 
I’m rough around the edges, Lord,
And in the middle, too.
If I knew how, I’d find a way
To shape myself anew.
 
But I am who I am, you see,
Though I’d love to be more.
Yet up or down, I try to smile,
No matter what’s in store.
