| Heartbroken A heart once whole, filled with joy, That sang with gladness each new morn, Is torn and bleeding, jagged wounds Hiding pain behind a mask that's worn. No one can see the terrible scars, Shattered heart that can not sleep. It's hidden well, silently screaming Cradled in a pool of tears, so deep. A mother's heart is strong and sturdy To hold the love and pain it must bear. But when it loses the child it loves Ripped apart, it lies bleeding there. How can a heart so hurt and broken, Have the strength for carrying on? How can it find the courage and will With so much of it torn away and gone? Questions, no answers. Broken hearts Still beat. No reason for How or Why. Will it mend? Will it ever feel joy? Healing so slowly as time passes by. Waiting and longing for that time To see you, touch you once again. One day at a time is all I can do. Heaven is where broken hearts mend. by Karen McCombs copyrighted May 28 2000 |

| One Day One day in May you went away. One day in May you were here. One day in May you were gone. One day in May our hearts broke. One day in May our lives changed. One day in May we last saw your face. One day in May we last heard your voice. One day in May we last said "I love you." One day in May we last saw your smile. One day in May we last felt your touch. One day in May the sun fell from the sky. One day in May darkness covered our world. One day in May dreams died and laughter stopped. One day in May we last said good-bye. by Karen McCombs Oct 10 1999 |
