quick to cry
quick to feel
a broken heart
will reveal
compassion lost
now regained
heart of ice
turns to rain
waters fields
long unsown
feeding flowers
still ungrown
love forgotten
out of touch
now remembered
blessed crutch
the crippled man
now is freed
to carry on
if on his knees
oh, broken heart
do not heal
a callous heart
is slow to feel
falling tears
a cooling rain
soothing shower
soothing pain
wounded heart
not alone
rests securely
on a Stone
