My Ruined Heart

It was pained. It was hopeless. It was helpless. Most of all it was aimless. It sought peace.It searched for a home.It was discontent. It was lonely,because of its experiences,it was scared.It was all these things but it was not unrepairable,NO!It is quite repairable.All it needed was compainionship, true comraderie. One came alongside it and realized exactly what it needed. It needed someone to embrace it. Someone to confide in,to heal,to love. Before this present hope, it was barricaded. It shut out any emotion. It didn't dare to hope. It didn't dare to dream. Always skeptical. Always doubtful. Always uncertain. But then this hope, this friend,came alongside it, offering hope, building trust, ensuring security. And little by little, the barricade began to weaken. It began to feel again. Like a bear in spring, it awakened from it's hibernation and began to look for nourishment.It began to hope and to dream. It began to see through new unburdened eyes. It opened up and so the healing took place. only because the Godsend called a friend opened himself up and shared his own difficulties did it come to know joy and fullness again. The past gouges became only faint scars. The ever present pain turned into joy. The ominous clouds of hoplessness turned to billowing clouds of hopefulness. And all because of this friend, did my heart, my ruined heart come to know fullness of life again.
