Love Covers a Multitude of Sins

In this broken universe
The fissures crack the windows
Through which we view each other,
And I, in my brokenness,
See you, in your brokenness;
The shards of glass
Give pain to each of us
Every day,
But somehow
We still dare to hold hands
In spite of the fog that blinds us.

Because of these cracks
You’ll never see my heart
The way you were meant to,
But I want you to know
(If you choose to believe it)
That deep inside this home
There is a love for you
So deep,
So rich
That it would trade the whole world
With all its riches
And glory
And pleasure unmeasured
Just to share life with you
Right here,
Even with
The broken shards of glass
That wound us each day.
