I just want to thank you <br />For putting a band aid <br />On my broken heart, <br />I was turning around in circles <br />Falling all apart... <br />Then you chanced upon me <br />So depressed and looking wild, <br />I appreciate that you took the time <br />To stay and talk awhile. <br />Your listening did me a world of good, <br />I am no longer afraid, <br />I just want to thank you <br />And so does my heart, for the difference <br />You made. <br />We thank you for your poem that soothed <br />Like a new band aid... <br />Now you might think me foolish sir, <br />But I am not foolish at all <br />This is just a note penned from me <br />To you, because like a friend you <br />Answered my desperate call. <br />Broken hearts don't feel so good <br />They make you weep and cry, <br />But since you offered a band aid to me <br />I am singing lullabies. <br /> <br />So, if I never hear from you again, <br />Just remember you saved someone's life... <br />With a few kind words in a poem, my friend, <br />You gave me paradise. <br /> <br />6: 26-6-28 p.m. <br />Dec.22,2008<br /><br />Dorothy (Alves) Holmes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-band-aid-for-my-broken-heart/
