Promise me...

    That when I shatter,

You will pick up the scattered pieces
    
    So that once it is all over,

I can put myself back together

    And once again be whole...

Thank you Cpat & Julie... Don't know what I'd do without my "Poet" friends....

Seems I can't find a dustpan around here these days...

If this reflects current mood, you've come to a good place to shatter.  Plenty of "pick you uppers" here!

We are all puzzles and sometimes miss a piece or two .....
Lovely thought, even if born in a moment of "risk"!

oh...I will be there, but I'm not sure it's me you want there...this write is seemingly accepting that you are going to shatter one day and there's nothing you or anyone can do to prevent it...and I know how that feels. Good short powerful piece!

A very powerful piece that I can really relate to.  Well done.

Tera, I know how these feel. I will tell you , though, that this is just the place to do that. There are lots of dustpans (shoulders) in this great big family of friends. And all of them are right there with a compassionate and loving ear...I know...
