the glass heart
held tightly in my own fist
splintering
shards cutting into my skin
pain shooting through my arm
i curl up into my Daddy’s lap
and he comforts me
soothing words the balm for the pain
his fingers massaging my hand
my tears stop
and I see
wounds
completely healed
but turned to scars
the splinters pieced back together
a perfect heart
but rips in the glass
A Reminder
of what happened

The author's comments:
I wrote this as an allegory of the love relationship between God and any human. I loved the idea of showing that he pieced together the heary that was battered and bruised.
