Broken of Heart "He heals the broken of heart and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3 Father, Warm wrap The broken of heart In Your Heart, Too many live without You. Their hope is closet-closed, Their soul's broom is worn and Sweeps away no longer Their soul's straw and sawdust. Warm wrap These broken of heart In Your Heart, Too many live without You. Their dreams bankrupted, now All is ruin and failure and shame, Deserted by all, A wounded wolf, alone. Warm wrap These broken of heart In Your Heart, To many live without You. Their love is flint-hearted, Cold, gray, untouched by flame, or As many say -- love is a foreign grave. Wam wrap These broken of heart In Your Heart, Too many live without You. Their wounds fester, They live on gall, Diet on wormwood, Clothe in gloom. Warm wrap These broken of heart In Your Heart, Too many live without You. Father, Heal the broken With the salve of Your grace. ONLY Your Touch mends, and Your Love fills. |

About the Poet
I am 79 years of age. For the past nine years I have been retired, after forty years, from the field of alcoholism and drug abuse in New York City.
I am married and we have two grown sons
and two grand-sons.
My life changed through a grace-experience in 1967.
Writing Christian prayers is a particular interest of mine. This came about by a growing awareness of the
spiritual in recovery from addictions.
I choose, intellectually and emotionally, to believe the Triune God of the Sared Scriptures as my Healer.
