Fragments of My Heart

Fragments Of My Heart Hello friend how are you? It’s so good to see your smile. I wonder if you’d walk with me as I go my last mile. We can talk about our memories or if we think that it might rain. But lets try not to talk about the reasons for lifes pain. Cause I can’t bear to talk about how it all got started. The schemes and dreams that I believed, that left me broken hearted. And I don’t want to talk about the love I threw away. On lovers and so called brothers that wouldn’t walk with me today. Lets skip the part that broke my heart and how Jesus walked on water. Somehow I knew I could count on you to get the truth back to my daughter. Let her know I lost control but I held no one above her. Dry her eyes help her see through lies about the one who will always love her. Don’t let them steal her happiness not even for one minute. They would break her heart in two and then pour salt right in it. They hate her not for who she is or the light that they see shine. They hate her cause they hated me and she was partly mine. They’ll look at her and try to speak through tears that they are crying. Tell her for me she needs to see and know that they are lying. Tell her not to look for me because if I can’t be found. Maybe they will let her be, and I can’t let her down. Thank you for the love you gave and for giving me the power. To finally stand up like a man to face my final hour. Tell the world I loved them all even though I clearly see. There’s many more among them that never once loved me. One last thing for you my friend that I’d like to impart. For what’s to be what’s left of me these fragments of my heart. For lonely times when your heart breaks and you feel all alone. Use these pieces of my heart to try to mend your own. Edwin C Hofert
