Go stand in the yard.

Now look at the trees.
Pull down a leaf
   and examine it.

Ask yourself, "In what way is it deficient
As a leaf?"

When you realize that it isn't,
Look up into the canopy again.

Observe the infinite ways
That perfection takes,

No two of which
Have ever been exactly the same.
