Broken and Beautiful

A mould-shaped symmetrical bowl has no character of its own It's just like the mould-shaped others and it is merely a clone If the bowl is shattered to pieces and the pieces stuck together once more It creates a beautiful mosaic that one cannot help but adore The bark on the trunk of a young sapling is just like that of any young tree It is like an unwritten page which is plain and ordinary With age the bark gets cracked and broken and acquires its own uniqueness It provides a home for many insects and becomes a thing of loveliness Falling in love for the first time can be very exciting at the start But such love is usually not long-lasting and may lead to a broken-heart A person whose heart has been broken seeks a love that is more mature When found such love heals the broken heart and it's more beautiful and likely to endure
