Broken Pieces

Broken pieces 
By Michelle Morris

We all have these broken pieces
Pieces of our souls
We leave them scattered
Everywhere we haven't healed

The losses and the lessons
The traumas and the darkness
We have to work on healing
To become whole again

But to truly heal takes time
Self reflection and patience too
Making the greatest effort
To love yourself and others fully 

For unless we love ourselves
We can never give love to others
And divided we'll remain
Around the world of distant brothers

We have all these broken pieces
But we can heal and grow
With love and understanding
We can make the world whole
