Decopage'

Decopage'

A Poem by poetforlife

 

How blessed I am to have such friends and loved ones to surround

Gathering up the broken pieces of my heart that they have found

Putting them back together in a fractured decopage’

How can one woman deserve the tenderness of their loving colage’

When my heart was broken, the shatter echoed through my soul

My friends ran in to pick me up, they all just seemed to know

A word, a hug, a knowing smile, the bandage for my bleeding heart

How can I ever thank each one, I wish I knew where to start.

My family with their love and grace and strong but gentle arms

My friends who get mad as hell that someone has done me wrong

My brothers who are strong but weep with me when I cry

My friends who talk for hours to help me understand why

My sister in law so precious, just looking out for me

I don’t deserve this kind of love but it still makes me believe

I believe in love and friendship and giving all you have

I believe in standing by someone through all the good and bad.

And maybe, just maybe, it’s coming back as my reward

For being that kind of friend to others when the price I can’t afford.

I would give anything of myself for you my dear, sweet friends,

When everyone else is gone away, I’ll be there in the end.

And when you’re burden’s heavy and you can’t carry anymore

I’ll lend my shoulders, give all I can, to lighten up your load.

Even through the pain of life, God watches over me

I don’t deserve the love I have but I’ll take it gracefully.

Sure you deserve the love... I like this though cause once again it can relate to many of us out there that often wonder why others care... and seeing what a wonderful heart you have it's no wonder many love you.

All your friends want nothing more than to see a smile on your face. They know how pure your heart of gold is and just want you back whole again. I just want the world to see how beautifull you are both inside and out, the world needs more kind soles like yourself.

awwe so sweet and tender... it's so true, what you give comes back
so when you wonder how lucky you are to have great people around you
just look in the mirror and see that the beauty lies in you and all you give to
others... It's just Karma coming back...

you are lovely......
