THERE’S  ALWAYS  GLUE 

When things break,

there’s always glue.

When bones break,

there’s always doctors.

When words break,

there’s always forgiveness.

When relationships break,

there’s always the hope of talking together.

When deaths break,

there’s always Easter mornings.

When I’m broken,

there’s always the sitting under a yellow cross.
