All will be made new

The rickety garden fence

around your heart

may need a bit more than oil right now

but chin up

lift your head high

for your homeland

has heavenly gates

made of solid gold

so smile at those

squeaky heartbeats

for one day - soon

brokenness will cease

and all will be made new.
