like a broken shell

how we must appear
to our creator, our God
like a broken shell
gathered from the surf
the storms of this life

gathered on the shore
marks of our history
scars of our path
when we have fallen
our lot with the world

gathered by our maker
as bits of broken clay
his living waters,
his loving touch
redeem us each one day
