TINY TUESDAY

Tiny carrots
Not pristine
Not cleaned
Not flawless
Not unblemished
But just as they are
Out of the ground - 
REAL.
All different 
But edible
Once they are cleaned off.
We are often like that -
Not pristine
Not always clean
Not flawless
Not unblemished.
Everyone different -
But we can all 
commit to being
REAL.
We owe it to ourselves
And to those whose lives
We share and touch
Every day.
