Grace

From 8/11/10

Reassembly
Its a massive struggle to survive
Something is lost, broken,

I’ve watched for a year as he has struggled
Tried to gather himself back in
Reattach lost limbs and organs
Some he will never find again

There was a time when he had stopped trying
Didn’t think he deserved another go
Thought he deserved the punishment he wore like a crucifix
But grace stepped in
Overwhelmed him
Saved him

But every birthday still rolls right by
And mobile phones still never ring
Stark reminders that they don’t
See him as he is or will be but only as he was
When he was
broken
apart
damaged
ruined
but not destroyed
