God's Stained Glass

• Beautifully broken comes from a song
• images of a life full of things gone wrong
• 
  
• Broken implies something useless and old,
• no longer wanted, tarnished and cold.
• 
  
• But that's not the image of her that I see,
• not the image of her she's revealed to me.
• 
  
• Yes, I understand the pieces of pain,
• senseless events with nothing to gain.
• 
  
• Every event that comes from her past
• is just like a piece of crooked edged glass.
• 
  
• Each single piece could be happy or sad,
• could mean something joyful or terribly bad.
• 
  
• But, each little piece is personally unique
  
• like the marks that are found on a precious antique.
• 
  
• Breaks and marks that show she's alive
  
• from the good and bad things she had to survive.
• So, like a window of beautiful stained glass
• kaleidoscope colors reflecting her past.
• 
  
• The pieces all join in the image I see
  
• of a sweet lovely woman so amazing to me.
