Windows crash and break
Flowers lose their petals
Things can bend
Made of the strongest metals
Shoes get worn out
Houses get too old
We don't just throw them away
As we are sometimes told
We glue them together
Give them water and sunshine
Bend them back to straight
Like waiting for the sweetest wine
We get them resoled
We labor for years
We do it all for no gratitude
Except to see the end of tears
Like the life of a precious heart
Sometimes things can just fall apart
But you never give up
Your trials might never end
It will always be worth it
Even if you end up just a friend
