Broken Glass

Bobby ran home smiling with pride bubbling inside ~

His teacher had just given him the blue ribbon award for

Outstanding student of the entire week; deeply determined....

He opened the front door bursting in making his way towards the den

Tossing his books atop the table as joyfully he went, beaming amid 

A rare glimpse of hope; but suddenly, the sound of broken glass?!

Stopping him within his tracks; wincing and lowering his innocent eyes

His humble heart pounding inside, knowing, as he slowly turned 

To look back ~

Words rising in his mind and echoing their truth; these images of life.... 

By and through, the reality of sorrowed hands; like stone, made cold to grasp

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

....In this, a breaking world of broken glass!?
