Broken Glass

Bobby ran home smiling with pride bubbling inside ~ His teacher had just given him the blue ribbon award for Outstanding student of the entire week; deeply determined.... He opened the front door bursting in making his way towards the den Tossing his books atop the table as joyfully he went, beaming amid A rare glimpse of hope; but suddenly, the sound of broken glass?! Stopping him within his tracks; wincing and lowering his innocent eyes His humble heart pounding inside, knowing, as he slowly turned To look back ~ Words rising in his mind and echoing their truth; these images of life.... By and through, the reality of sorrowed hands; like stone, made cold to grasp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ....In this, a breaking world of broken glass!?
