Just That Bone

Bring me a bone
But not any bone
A bone that breaks
But is able to stay strong
A bone of beauty
One that knows of life
But full of dignity

With that dignity
Let the bone be free
Free from the ligaments of its past
So that it may be of a different body
To make a better hold
For the one who needs it the most
To give that extra support
When they fall down
Their hard path

A bone that will accept the path
But still follow through
The new paths
And not break with the body when it falls
But stays strong
Through the hard times
But able to break
For nothing is perfect
Not even the good bone
