Poetry: Held Together

It may seem impossibly broken.

The pieces, unfathomably small,

scattered, hiding in the corners

and cracks, under the furniture.

It may feel hopeless, as if

no amount of glue will ever be

able to mend the crumbling

situation.

But take heart.

With patience and faith and time- oh, so much time- the fragments will slowly come together.

And it won’t be the same.

It can never be the way that it was.

But it will, eventually, become whole once more.

A mosaic held together by

love & care and

songs & tears and

memories & magic.
