Pieces Of Broken Hearts

Broken hearts

Now fill up the space,

Where once echoed laughter,

And eyes sparkled in a happy face.

Pieces of broken hearts

Litter the ground,

And tears mixed with rain

Fall without sound.

Eyes that are now old,

Stare out from faces still young,

So many hearts break

From the loss of this loved one.

Pieces of broken hearts,

Now litter the ground,

And tears mixed with the cold rain,

Endlessly fall down.

One day the sound of laughter

Will rise here again,

And the pieces of broken hearts

Will gather and mend.

The hills will echo

With the sounds of joy,

And I’ll see innocence again,

In the eyes of my boy.
