Try a Little Tenderness
A broken heart is often born of anger and neglect
and should be treated lovingly with honor and respect.
The gentlest brush of fingertips across a tear stained cheek
a two armed hug and chocolate, for those of us who're weak.
An old movie, too, can aid in healing, one that makes you smile,
with buttered popcorn and jujubees and soda on the aisle.
A brand new pet, a pup or kitten, will work just like a charm
and help to bring our dear ones back from those who did them harm.
And with time and much attention the broken will come to see
there should be no apprehension, for what will be will be.
So, gather up the shattered shards of all those wretched, broken, parts
and greet the new day's sunny face, with your own new sunny heart.
