Today I Heard a Story

Today I heard a story
a story of the bittersweet
a heart in need of mending
it began with a sad truth
a tale of neglect
how the opening chapter
broke my heart
I could have wept
instead with that
solemn feeling I chose to rewrite
the next chapter
verse by verse
to enchant you
with a new story
to tell
about what you are truly worth
the nurturing that should have been
hugs and kisses
all that is sweet
today I changed a story
a story of woe
to a story everyone should expect
