Broken

This is about me.

A broken back
whether serious or mild
can place you in a wheelchair
forever or for a little while
through our latest modern techniques
broken bones eventually mend
this is what she desperately seeks


A broken spirit
unlike shattered bones
left her an empty shell
very hollow and alone
to face a future of total hell
never finding her way home
what she wants is some direction
not knowing who she sees
when looking at her reflection


A broken heart
we must be aware
that someone really
has to give a care
all the medicine
in our complex world
cannot in fact heal
this heartsick girl
what she needs is a loving guide
then throw in a mighty prayer
to help rebuild her trust and pride
that she loves herself again, and care

May God fill your heart
With much love to share
To your spirit His strength impart,
Bless you with many friends to care
Who will never from you depart,
To our God I send up this fervent prayer
That a miraculous healing He'll start.

The Libra Solution: Shedding Excess and Redefining Success by Lisa DAnnolfo Levey
