Rebuilt-A Poem

Broken to be rebuilt

A reminder every day

You can't become bitter

He wouldn't want it that way 


Sometimes it's a struggle

Your loss takes its toll

Not sure how to live

While giving up control 


Constant work in progress 

Hesitant how life will look

But God always gives

More than He ever took


Fear is a tricky partner

Divorce is never final 

Even when you see it

There’s some level of denial 


With just one word 

With just one flick 

Given in a moment

Taken just as quick 


The road we travel

Isn’t the road we planned 

God never gives us more

Then we can withstand 


Nothing lasts forever

Nothing on this earth

Heaven is all that matters 

From the moment of our birth
