Perfection

per-fect [adj.] entirely without any flaws, defects, or shortcomings.
How could anyone ask for perfection when, in reality,
nothing meets the standards of being flawless.
After all, even the reddest rose has thorns,
The deepest love has hate,
The tallest ice cream melts,
The richest chocolate spoils,
The prettiest flower wilts,
The biggest jewel shatters,
The smartest genius makes mistakes,
The fastest runner tires,
The greatest idea fails,
The brightest light burns out,
The nicest word turns mean,
The sharpest knife gets dull,
The wisest people die,
The best song ends,
The purest heart breaks,
Even the most perfect girl cries.
