For all my life
There's been a you-sized hole
in my heart.
While others have tried to patch it,
time makes the edges tear away
and it opens again
leaving it raw and painful.
There is no graft
that will take.
Only the love that comes from you
can fill this hole,
and God will seal the edges
in a perfect weld,
strong and unbreakable.
Your voice is like a salve,
each word you give to my ear
brings healing to my heart.
And on that day, my day of healing,
my tears of joy
will wash it all clean
and my heart will be new again.
