"Broken" by Robert Brown Broken That's what you said Broken With no hope of Being whole Convinced that life Would never be anything but What it was And you were Resigned to your fate Broken I cannot deny this I have watched it happen Despite all my efforts I was only able to Delay it And perhaps give you Some small measure of Happiness To make the pain Bearable Broken But not forever This I will deny Everything broken can be Put back together Not the same of course Nothing can ever be the same But with enough care and Unconditional Love You can become whole And perhaps better than you Once were Broken You worry about what people will think What they will see Afraid that all they will notice Are the breaks Can't you see Just how beautiful you are Inside and out Each broken facet Shimmering like jewels So lovely Despite the breaks Or rather more so Because of them
