Splinters

Splinters of broken promises

Shards of shattered dreams

Embedded so deeply inside

Unmovable lest it pains us more

Hidden to all but those who seek

While the splinters and the shards

May never be completely removed

All is not lost while there is hope

Where there is a will, there is a way

The hurt will slowly ebb

Sorrow does not forever last

Find solace in the arms of forgiveness

Seek shelter in the arms of love

Keep your eye on the prize

Life does not for a cursed day end

Be strong and be brave

For someday, you will be whole again
