Heartbreak Repair Kit

Despite endless attempts to avoid it We can't sidestep it forever At one point or another We all sail into stormy weather When your ticket gets punched You'll be flooded with sadness Turbulently twisting and turning In a constant state of madness Next comes the hardest part Your ticker just can't take it anymore Furiously feeling the crack in your heart Misery making you crumble to the floor Dragged down into the depths of despair Searching for a watershed moment Surely there is a solution out there To put your pain into postponement Fortuitously stumble upon a toolbox Time to tune up your heart Grab the Elmer's glue for the fracture Then duct tape other pieces that fell apart Subsequently realize who sent the repair kit Sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers, and mothers All chipped in to cobble it together because Heart splinters get sealed with love from others
