"Broken



"Broken"
They say "broken crayons still color"
But what happens when the pieces get low?
What happens when they can't color any more?
What happens when a person heart is broken?
Can it still function on just pieces or will it fail to beat because it's bent into creases?
What happens when brokenness leads to major distress- when the world is upside down and all that can be done is frown?
What happens when the creator is forgotten even though his landing place is soft as cotton?
So what if he is finally remembered and a prayer goes through?
It is then that faith is made brand new.
The broken hearts,
and the times of despair have been eliminated because he's right there.
What if he picks up the pieces and mends the crayons and heals the heart?
Then brokenness will cease and healing will start.
