A Beautiful Mosaic

Chipped and broken

Shards of pain

Pieced together

Edges smoothed over

With tears of acceptance

A magical gift

Tiny tiles of life

So patiently adjusted

Creating a beautiful mosaic

I'm proud to display

Coming Home

Comfy and content

In a home of my own

Giggles and laughter

Tickle my heart

There's nowhere I'd rather be

I've found my place

My family

Sweetness of life

Seeps through my heart

For all of this

G-d made just for me

Little Pieces of My Heart

Running farther away

Climbing higher still

I get dizzy from distractions

I keep turning back

I've left something behind

Little pieces of my heart

But I must keep running, climbing

To stop is falling down

As I struggle to reach up

And steady each new step

I glance back to see

My heart's pieced together- keeping pace

Nothing's really lost

Just out of reach enough

For me to share my heart once more

As I keep running

Forever climbing higher

Not Today

Not today

Count me out

I did enough

And I'm fed up

It's one of those days

Sleepy and slow

But busy like nuts

So not today

Count me out

It's just so typical

Another Monday
