Gathering Pieces

Her family was broken

She gathered pieces

Every single day

& put them together.

They would fall apart

Every single day.

With tears dropping from her eyes

She gathered the pieces

All over again.

With a single hope,

That some day

They realise through her

That no matter how difficult life gets

You need to keep aside your weakness

Put on a brave face

& keep your loved ones content.

She found a stem

with a tiny red bud

Fallen on the ground.

She took it home

Placed it in a glass of water.

Next morning,

She sipped her coffee with a smile

A gorgeous full-blown rose was by her side.
