The Broken Hearted

The Broken Hearted
~~~~
My heart bleeds for the broken hearted
The many whom life has dealt a difficult hand
The ones who struggle on their own
Without a leg to stand

No security net to catch their fall
No rainy day back-up plan to help
How they will make it through the year
Is surely in some doubt

No good neighbor to offer a hand
No guardian angel to watch their back
Yet courage and determination
Is nothing that they lack

Though courage doesn’t pay the bills
And determination doesn’t supply the meal
Struggling becomes a way of life
Yet emptiness isn’t what they feel

I meet a lovely woman today
Who could teach me a thing or two
About appreciating what you have
Even when it’s few

The gleam in her eyes
Outshone the roughness of her hands
As she asked for a job
In terms I could understand

Qualified she wasn’t
But determined even still
Her honesty and assertiveness
For the position could fill the bill

I decided to take a chance
Her situation warranted the try
The woman needed the money
How could I just sit by?
I hope she works out fine
In my gut I think she will
When actions speak louder than words
It can change the way one feels

I didn’t hire her out of pity
Though my heart for her did break
I was impressed by her spirit
To do whatever it takes

She wasn’t seeking a handout
She wasn’t expecting to be kept
She was just looking for someone
To help her take the next step

I wish her all the best
I hope this relationship become a fruitful one
Isn’t that what it’s all about?
When the day is done

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
