You'll fix me?
You'll stitch the pieces back
Arrange the scattered parts
Glue the slivered fragments
Into a whole.

You'll fix me!
Repair the ravages of time
Extinguish the hurts of old
Balance the teetering mess
That is my Soul.

You'll fix me.
Just being there daily
Lending an over-sized ear
Reverberating my dissonance
Paying my toll.

You'll fix me,
One step at a time,
Patching the leaks
Padding the walls
Digging the hole.

You will fix me
Over the course of our lives.
Through kindness and wisdom
Through struggle and change
As we grow old.
