Why should I expect
you to be perfect?
When I am the one
with the defects.
Why should I expect
you to do what I say?
when you see me
act in such dismay.
Why should I expect
you to follow my rules?
when I look in the mirror
and see a fool.
Why should I expect
you to be the very best?
When I am the one
that is possessed.
Why should I expect
you not to despair?
When I was the one
who was never there.
Why should I expect
you to be here for me?
When finally,
you have the chance to flee.
The 50 year old poet 
Expect with exceptions!!
Ha ha!!
Insight worth each experience..!
Wow!

I don’t expect you to be perfect,
nor to do what I say.
I do expect you not to despair,
for I will improve
if you’ll just meet me there
… there at that half-way point
where
we both are there
for one another.
