Facelift

*** Write me, tinker; I’m falling apart. Right me, thinker; patch up this heart. Stitch each seam with thread eternal; mend ragged edges, remnants infernal. Take what’s worthy, make it shine. Fairly, justly, restore what's mine. ***

Such a simple but enticing poem, seeking that which will help us in our moments of need. When we don't feel ourselves, if I read this right. :) Nicely done my friend.
