In the Eyes of a Child

We were once, but are no more- heroes in the eyes of a child- heroes that could mend all things. Daddy it broke- can you fix it? Sure honey, it will only take a little glue- by tomorrow it should be good as new. All too quickly we are found out- dads can’t fix everything- and heroes all have feet of clay. It’s easy to fix a broken toy- how does a father mend a broken heart? It takes more than a little glue- and good as new tomorrow- just doesn’t do.
