A Band Aid For My Broken Heart Poem by Dorothy (Alves) Holmes

I just want to thank you
For putting a band aid
On my broken heart,
I was turning around in circles
Falling all apart...
Then you chanced upon me
So depressed and looking wild,
I appreciate that you took the time
To stay and talk awhile.
Your listening did me a world of good,
I am no longer afraid,
I just want to thank you
And so does my heart, for the difference
You made.
We thank you for your poem that soothed
Like a new band aid...
Now you might think me foolish sir,
But I am not foolish at all
This is just a note penned from me
To you, because like a friend you
Answered my desperate call.
Broken hearts don't feel so good
They make you weep and cry,
But since you offered a band aid to me
I am singing lullabies.

So, if I never hear from you again,
Just remember you saved someone's life...
With a few kind words in a poem, my friend,
You gave me paradise.
