Shattered

I am but glass, you have but broken With words both shouted and unspoken You throw me up against the wall Just so you can watch me fall If I'm cracked it's not enough I must be shattered to show your tough Grab a broom, sweep up myself Put my pieces on the shelf Search and search to find some glue Don't worry I'll be good as new

Spanish Rose, a sad poem yet how wonderful for you to remember you'll be good as new in the end after being treated so unkind...Good for you to hold on to your power, you really are somebody! Congratulations on your win. I am delighted to be standing with you. Peace and Love. Cynthia
