The shattering of a heart when being broken is the loudest quiet ever ~ Carroll Bryant

Once, as a toddler, first uncovering
the miracle of tottering
upon my own two legs, feet
eager and anxious – 
I stumbled – then, I was
brokenhearted

Once, as a child, pleading
For my first horseback ride,
There was a mixture of fear
And, then tears, when
I fell off – then, I was
Brokenhearted

Once, as a teen, attempting
To understand the meaning of love,
Kissing the first time,
Impatient to find the hunger
I lost him – to another, then, I was
Brokenhearted

Once, as a woman, realizing
Life means more than just dreaming,
Joy comes to those who listen
To the kindness, the sensitivity,
I worried – then, I found myself
Brokenhearted

Once, as I struggled for the chance
To know what it means to
Know grace that is real, hope
That heals and love that fulfills
I lost my faith in others and then, I was
Brokenhearted

Once, as I learned to give my best
With an openness that exposes
Even the darkness and the distress,
All the wonders of feelings, blessings
I was discouraged – doubted – then,
Brokenhearted

Once, I knew what it is to love
Without conditions, completely
With a love that is sure – it
Completes me with its tenderness
And, because I could give without expectations….
My heart was restored with the assurance

That love this strong, love that silences
Every wrong – is a love that goes on…
It is eternal, like God’s song to those who know
He mends every broken heart who gives Him
The faith, believing in His wisdom and grace,
Freeing the soul to the wonder of His marvelous embrace!
