Handyman of Hearts

Poem Artwork

How do you mend a broken heart?
A heart that’s broke in two.
Can you gather up the pieces?
And then fix it good as new?

How do you bond it back together?
Is there a special kind of glue?
So many broken hearts need fixed,
Oh how I wish I knew.

I wish I were a fix it man,
For broken hearts you see.
If I could mend the broken pieces,
How busy I would be.

If someone’s heart is broken,
They could come right to my shop.
They would be lined up for miles,
My work would never stop.

But I am not the Handyman,
That I wish, that I could be.
So be careful not to break a heart,
Prevention is the key.

Jack Roberts – February 25, 2003

Jack,

To aspire to help others is to look outside of yourself. By doing so (and making others think of doing so), you are helping to heal the hurt of many hearts. Fabulous poem :)!

If you find a supplier, I'll kick in for the tools. The world needs more heart fixers and less heartbreakers.

Well Done Jack! Love that last line--and in my corner that "prevention" is as much the resposibility of would-be broken hearts as the breakers. Vicky
