broken toys

by l.p. burns

as children bring their broken toys
with tears for us to mend,
i brought my broken dreams to my god
because he was my friend.
but then, instead of leaving him
in peace to work alone,
i hung around and tried to help
with ways that were my own.
at last i snatched them back and cried,
'how can you be so slow?'
'my child,' he said, 'what could I do? ...

... you never did let go'
