The Pieces.

My heart has been through so much, how much more can it take?

God has held it together after it was crushed,

when I first learned that heart ache was real pain.

He picked up the pieces and put them back together

after my heart was once again broken to pieces.

I know this maker of mine knows far better than I

but can He put the pieces back all in their right place?

Once again I feel this all to real pain in my heart.

His hands are there holding them all in place once again.

All but the three little pieces that can never be replaced.

One for love I couldn’t wait for.

One for love that couldn’t wait for heaven’s reward.

One for love that couldn’t wait for me.

I give these pieces of my heart to my maker,

The God of all creation,

to care for them, tenderly and perfectly to the end of the ages.

The pieces that will forever leave a void in my heart.

The pieces for which I am so thankful, that my God gave me at my creation.

The pieces that I will forever ache for in my soul.
