She is shattered glass gathered!
An abandoned bouquet watered.
A broken heart healed
An open wound stitched
A crushed soul lifted
A cold body warmed
A smile resurrected
A lonely hand held
Loved
salvaged
Held
Lifted
By your compassion
Kindness
Grace and..
Love.
One by one
A piece at a time
Each gathered back by you!
By Susan McMillan
What a knock-out first sentence!!!
Thank-you Susan ๐โค. That comes with a namesake hug.
Wow, this is beautiful
Thank-you love ๐
The 1st sentence feels like the abrupt explosion of breaking glass, with each line supporting the gathering and mending. This is a wonderful poem full of poignant imagery.
Thank-you friend. It’s humbling when one sees the heart of my poem. Thank-you again โค
Beautiful ๐น

I have a magnet on my refrigerator that says “God will heal a broken heart if you give Him all the pieces.” I love the way you expressed similar thoughts.
Thank-you Elizabeth. Yes God will heal. I believe that to be absolutely true. No pieces are too shattered for Him to gather. In life, there are so many people that will love us; gathering pieces through their acts of love, kindness and compassion. Even amidst evil or bad, there are so many beautiful people that will give us their hand to hold. Thank-you so much for your wisdom Elizabeth. I am so honored to get to interact with you on here. It’s always a delight reading what you have to say. Thank-you again and again.๐น
