broken
beads
released
from the string
a
prayer interrupted
the
cord cut
but
not cut off
not
the end
God
still waiting
for
us to gather
the
shards beautiful
in
our Father’s eyes
even
when words are hard coming
when
we have trouble speaking at all
God
sees the beauty
in
our brokenness
God
answers the
prayers
from our heart
