There is beauty in a shattered glass
If you seek to find it there
Look closely and you’ll discover
The connection to prayer

There will be hosanna’s sung
Convoluted songs of praise
And lest the singers forget
We’ll remember it for days

That one single moment
When a life on earth ceased
A soft sigh, a hesitant breath
a soul flew upwards -  released

So many lives were touched
Like crystal veins in broken glass
A life ended as it began
With faith and love and class

Sometimes in the shatter
There is beauty to behold
No more pain or sorrow
No fear no growing cold

Look through the glass and see
This season to arise
The springtime of heaven’s garden
The comfort in God’s eyes

Beautiful piece... as always...

The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing."

what a wondeful view of death - it is hard for those left - but yes, there is beauty in shattered glass -

Sharon that was simply the most graceful poem I will ever read.  Yes, there is definitely beauty in broken glass, and also in that wonderful heart of yours.

Came back to get these lines, as they are so very, very true.  Taking them as a gentle reminder.
