Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty

Egg shells float around inside,
scattered about, lodged in crevices.
Cracked and chipped,
the smooth covering gone.
I am broken.

My outer shell is gone,
I am crushed and exposed,
wind-whipped and bare
to the elements,
the harsh winds blow through,
I am weary.

I’ve fallen off the wall.
Collect the pieces,
put me back together.
From the broken remnants
heal me
make me whole
in you.

I give you my broken heart.

Psalm 34:18

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
