A broken heart is something <br />We have all known <br />Many times we hide it <br />So our sorrow isn't shown <br /> <br />Our hearts break when a friends dies <br />One you've known for many years <br />The pain we feel we cannot hide <br />As we painfully shed our tears <br /> <br />How about a pet we've had for years <br />Suddenly one day they are gone <br />That loss had it's own kind of pain <br />But we still find a way to go on <br /> <br />I know that most people <br />Associate a broken heart <br />With a broken love <br />That's usually how it starts <br /> <br />But your child can break your heart <br />As you watch them struggle in school <br />You so much want for them to succeed <br />So as they go through life they won't be fooled <br /> <br />So you see, a heart breaks comes in many ways <br />There are many causes and reasons for our pain <br />Just one broken heart regardless of the reason <br />From that point on, we never seem to be the same <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2-9-09/RJH<br /><br />Ray Hansell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-broken-heart-23/
