There's a room full of vases And each one is different. Some have cracks, Others, fractures; Some have crumbled, Others, shattered; Some have different colours In a patchwork pattern. Some look whole and well But only from a distance; Others' cracks are so fine Only the vase can tell it's broken. But each vase is beautiful. Each vase can be useful, Be patched up and hold something. This room full of vases Appears sad to some, But it is also Brimming with life.
