One Stitch Begins the Mend

~ The power of one stitch some may not comprehend; though the garment is not fixed, it is still a worthy mend. Pull back to center of the gaping hole what’s frayed, fragmented, torn; one solid suture can bring new life and fabric be reborn. And though it seems imperfect, it creates the perfect start to restore what seems beyond repair, like the shattering of hearts. I am grateful for this golden thread; it proves easier to cope. In the center of my core, one single stitch now offers hope. ~

nicely penned...I have too used sewing, threads in a metaphorical write, it makes the poem powerful...enjoyed the read!

All is not lost, when it can be mended. I like the whole poem, but the very last line is the hook, for me. One single stitch now offers hope. You have a real flair for rhyme, which I admire. Well done!.........80)

Sadly clothing and people are often discarded far too soon. I like this piece, it causes one to ponder.

I can think of a few times I could have used a thread like that. Loved this, your poems always flow so smoothly and create such an amazing vision. And this is so true, everything mostly, can be mended, maybe they aren't as good as new when that happens but they certainly have plenty of useful life left.
