A reed is easily broken

Shredded by brutal winds

And so it goes the human heart

So tender it is my friends.

 

It’s made up of years of experience

Some good and some too bad

And if never properly mended

It’s memories will blow like the sand.

 

Strength does come from the Father

Yet pain is not likely forgone

Few pains barely prick some hearts

While others pierce deep iron rods.

 

Only Christ knows the record of heartaches

From childhood and years long gone

Never known is the pool of sorrow

That Satan will stir up by wrongs.

 

Walk lightly with hearts every season

Thinking always to guard from the snares

The hearts that may soon just crater

So fragile ….please handle with care.
