Broken Heart Menders

There is a little garden
Where ickle cherubs stay
They are hearts little menders
Under natures scented bouquet

Red threads they pull and spin
From the cotton tree behind
To mend our broken hearts
Their sewing so intertwined

They sit and sew and sew
To mend our broken hearts
As they bring two halves together
And wonder why they part

They have heard so many stories
As to why they drifted so
But these ickle little cherubs
Just sit and sew and sew

There is a little garden
Where broken hearts are mended
So if your heart gets broken
These cherubs will re-mend it

Different but interesting write that you have done in this one. Those little Cherubs have got to be busy from the way those love loss, and I am so sad writes are on here. The garden is probably stripped of cottonwood trees because they have been turned into thread. Keep the creative and magical pen flowing. Sara
