OVER THE SPAN OF YEARS

 

Over the span of years,

Along the way

My heart has been broken

Time after time

But how can it not break,

When you lose someone

Or when a loved one passes,

Or your child is in pain

Or is unhappy

We don’t live in a bubble

Life is not lived in isolation

And broken hearts do mend

And each repair gives us strength

For the next time

Because a heart never broken,

Is cold and sterile,

And has never known the joy

Of loving another human being
