Broken Heart
You're troubled by your setback
Ruminating on all you've endured
The labor, the hopes, the weight of expectation
You should have lifted a basket
Brimming with blessings
Yet emptiness was your recompense
So you regretted every miles of sacrifice
The gigantic cost that yield grief
A victory overturned to sorrow, tears
and silence
Gathered your scattered thoughts
The season of harvest has arrived
Your effort have birthed an ocean of abundance
A tide of fish too great to count
A feast prepared by the same hand that ones shook
Now you shall taste and be filled
And still leave overflow for generations
For those who will work the road after you
And know your name not by your breaking
But by your rising
