Damaged Goods
By Robert Brian Newbill
A beautiful crystal vase,
Lay broken on the floor,
Damaged beyond repair,
Lost forevermore.
The woman to whom it belonged
Was prepared to throw it away,
When a man arrived to tell her
There was another way
I can rebuild this if you will permit me...
He glued it back together
With gentle hands, and careful labor
Undertaken, not of lust
But of love and true devotion
And when he gave it back to her...
It was still far from perfect
There were some cracks and flaws
And still a few missing pieces
But she liked it even better
Than it had ever been before...
