Five Minute Friday - Broken

Today is Friday once again with just a little twist.  The website at Lisa Jo's has had problems this week and so we are meeting over on facebook, (just look up Lisa Jo Baker) to share our thoughts.  I hope you choose to join us there for a very special Five Minute Friday on:

BROKEN.....

Broken Things To Mend

By Patricia A Pitterle

They bring me toys and broken bits

And hope that I can mend

The little things that mean a lot

But now, the pieces bend.

She brings her favorite dolly, ripped,

And thinks that I can sew

The leg that’s off and now needs fixed

She wants her dolly whole.

He brings his trains and broken trucks,

The wheels once round are gone.

He wants me to make brand new ones,

With wood and glue and brawn.

She brings the dress she loves to wear,

What once was large is tight

And so I cut and gather now

And make her a dress that’s right.

He lost his Lego blocks it seems,

You know they are so small,

They could be anywhere I guess

But looking finds them all.

  

There is someone who understands.

He takes my broken self to mend.

He heals my wounds and comforts me,

And His great love He sends.

He wants to show me I am loved,

And have been from the start.

He suffered for my worldly sins,

He calms my weary heart.

He is not far away from me

He hears me when I call

He reaches out to grasp my hand

To catch me when I fall. 

A chance to prove that I can be 

What'ere He needs of me

a choice I make to do His will

And serve on bended knee.  

I seek His path along my way

And grasp His iron rod,

I kneel to find Him always there

My Savior and my God.
