The Mended Heart
The heart is oh so fragile; although the muscle's strong. It goes on beating even though continued life seems wrong. When devastation makes its mark and chisels in the pain. It seems as though the heart will not ever know joy again. Good News! The heart will mend itself, but not just like before. Remember, like a broken bone, the original is no more. There is a tender spot in both where once the gap was wide. The beating heart that gives us life has courage on its side. And as the broken bone may ache because of rain or cold, the heart may ache with longing for the one whose bell has tolled There is no guarantee that life will ever be the same, But when you do find joy in life, the heart should feel no shame.
