This poem is dedicated to Guruswamy.

One day
I asked a wise man
why it took so long
for him
to cure me…

He looked at me
with so much love
in his eyes
before he spoke…

My child…
if you want me
to fix your broken heart
you have to give me
all the pieces…

Isn't that the truth? We all seem to hold back the very thing we want held. I think there is a valuable lesson in this poem, I liked it.

Nothing means more to me than faith,
family and my friends.

Bravo! Well said, Neeraja! This reminds me of "Broken Dreams" By Margaret Fishback Powers.

Take care,

This says so much in such a small space. Bravo! I really like it. Do you think he can really fix it, even with all the pieces? Hugs, Marti
