Pieces of a Heart

I once rebuilt a heart that broke in many pieces...
I gathered them up ,and slowly connected them without 
any creases...

Held them in my hands as some fit together with no trace ...
Others needed some extra care and a soft touch to go in place...

A kiss here and hug there and some tender words I shared...
This fragile heart would soon be strong from another who more
then cared...

Now that this heart is on its own, for path I can never see...
Always remember in your heart, there is still a piece of me...
