Oh seamstress with your needle silver <br />Can't you tell my mind's bewildered? <br />Oh seamstress with your thread of gold <br />Show me what your skill beholds! <br />You mend your garments with such ease, <br />But how are you with memories? <br />Where some might look to surgery <br />I ask you, please, to work on me! <br /> <br />Can you mend this heart so torn? <br />Battered, beaten, scathed and worn <br />I implore you please, for me, consider <br />To stitch up my heart before it withers!<br /><br />Sean Furlong<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-stitcher/
